West Sussex

A county in southern England at the foot of the South Downs, where a historic cathedral city, castles, estates, and wide beaches meet.

West Sussex is located on the south coast of England, with the South Downs rolling across the county. The county town of Chichester features a cathedral and the Pallant House Gallery, while the nearby Fishbourne Roman Palace is one of Britain's most important Roman sites. Arundel Castle, Petworth House, and Uppark House showcase aristocratic history, and Goodwood House is famous for its motorsport and horse racing events. West Wittering Beach offers wide sands, and the harbor village of Bosham is peaceful and picturesque. Devil's Dyke is perfect for views over the downs, and Wakehurst and the Weald & Downland Living Museum are also well worth a visit. Spring to autumn is the best time to visit. Gateways include Gatwick Airport and direct rail links from London.
