West Sussex is one of the most beautiful and diverse counties in the Southeast of England, boarded by Hampshire to the West, Surrey to the North and East Sussex to the East, with the English Channel to the South. With so much to explore and discover from the glorious coastline to rolling, chalky hills on the South Downs and stunning countryside, to market towns and the cathedral city of Chichester.
The South Downs National Park, which covers a significant portion of West Sussex, is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, offering opportunities for hiking, cycling and finding wildlife. Also home to several charming villages, Lodsworth, Upperton and Tillington between the charming market towns of Midhurst and Petworth; Singleton to East Dean in the pretty valley near the Goodwood Estate. Historic landmarks including the famous Arundel Cricket ground in Arundel Castle’s grounds; the Cowdray Estate (yes the yellow windows) home to polo which also hosts the The Gold Cup annually; and the Goodwood Estate, known for its horse racing, motor racing and annual Festival of Speed and Goodwood Revival.
If drawn to the water, then the picturesque villages of Itchenor and Bosham with their sailing clubs and water sport, are a great place to live. East Head at West Wittering has to be one of the best sandiest beaches in the country with endless sand dunes and spectacular views of the South Downs and the Isle of Wight.
Access to London is pretty easy from Chichester, Petersfield or Haslemere and if you’re driving then the A3 is easily accessible.

West Sussex has been our home for some time, I just love the countryside and the easy access to the coast. My true love of the county though really is it has be it has two of my favourite cricket pitches, Goodwood and Arundel Castle! And then who doesn’t love a good beach walk, well we have one of the best in the country with East Head, West Wittering. With its views of both the South Downs and the Isle of Wight it is tone of the best places or an all year round walk.
