For those who love long walks in the countryside or scenic bike rides, there are numerous rural places to explore in Sussex. Take a look at the many routes within the South Downs National Park or the Great Sussex Way and you’ll see what we mean. Destinations such as Arundel, Midhurst and Petworth are elegant market towns with an extensive selection of art galleries, antiques shops and boutiques to visit, and the surrounding villages – set against the rolling fields and woods of the South Downs – are well worth discovering.

Sussex is steeped in history and heritage, with historic landmarks such as Arundel Castle, Chichester Cathedral and Fishbourne Roman Palace and Gardens. If you are a fan of sports such as motor racing or horse racing, Goodwood and Fontwell are a short distance away.
