Beautiful Countryside

West Sussex has several oustanding areas of countryside to enjoy.

The South Downs form a huge part of the southern part of West Sussex. These Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Sussex and importance of these lovely rolling chalk hills have now been recognised with the announcement that they are now protected as the South Downs National Park.

The South Downs sweep down to the shoreline in much of Sussex, forming a green backdrop to the more heavily developed coastal plain. The great seaside towns of Worthing, Littlehampton and Bognor Regis sit alongside the long sweeping beaches of the Sussex coastline.

Further north, the large flat clay plain of the Sussex Weald was once a remote land which was hard to pass through. For centuries the Weald was covered in woodland and notorious for its terrible roads. Today the Weald is full of well-to-do villages and small and attractive towns like Horsham, Midhurst and Steyning.

Located on the southern coast of England, looking across the English Channel towards the rest of Europe, West Sussex has played a key part in the history, defence and trade of England and the United Kingdom.

From the time of the Romans, to the Saxons, Vikings and Normans, Sussex has been in the frontline of England's relations with Europe. The county has many historic buildings and places of interest, including the beautiful city of Chichester - which dates back to before Roman times.
