Your favourite Sussex Village ?

[Horsham Gull]

Cowfold cos its the f***ing Ghetto

I have never liked Pulborough at all, always found it a bit rough, particularly the Swan pub...I grew up in Storrington, it was completely off bounds, full of punchy jockeys.

Pulborough is awful. And if you have the misfortune of living in a surrounding village, you have to include Pulborough in your address. No idea why.

A vote for Burwash

 

[Lady Bracknell]

I'll give it one!

(a) because Lindfield doesn't exist as a postal address - it comes under Haywards Heath and (b) you can walk from Wilmington Way to Backwoods Lane in two minutes without realising that you've left Haywards Heath and entered a so-called village - there's no boundary between the two whatsoever.

The only reason I'm bitter is because Lindfield has the Stand Up and Haywards Heath doesn't

That's not the case anymore - Lindfield now exists as it's own postal address after some oldies protested.

Stand Up


Incidently Horsted Keynes is very nice but is let down by the fact it's in the middle of nowhere. Alfriston though is in a decent location, and is a cracking village.

Mayfield ?

 

[Lady Bracknell]

Mayfield is good. Although I never recognise it in daylight!

 

[clapham_gull]

Probably one of the most interesting villages Brightling, home of Mad Jack Fuller

Arlington, due to the bloody nice pub/restaurant called The Yewtree there.

and stock car stadium

 

[Lady Bracknell]

And there's another excellent Yew Tree down the road in Chalvington too.

ginadim, and if it isn't bad enough including Pulborough in your address...you get a Redhill postcode!!!

Glynde is quite nice, if you ignore the obvious problem of there only being one train out of it an hour, and two buses a day....

Better than the SE25 (Selhurst, eek) and CR5 (Crawley) that I used to have. But RH20 does taint the pride of having West Sussex on the address.

I sent a postcard to my Dad. I just put his name, West Chiltington, RH20. And it got to him within 2 days.

West Chiltington has a few redeeming features.

I hope you mean my part time residence there
Or is it the tri-tandem bicycle that you seem to love so much
I'm coming home on Friday to lovely Sussex, hooray.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

No-one's mentioned Telscombe - the village, that is, as opposed to the bungaloid extension to Peacehaven.

That's another delightful place I used to live in.

I always thought that, historically, at least, Haywards Heath was a suburb of Lindfield. It's just that the smaller one has grown into the bigger one.

Both and welcome back!

I cast my first vote for... Alfriston. I am rather partial to a cream tea. So I suppose I'd have to vote for Litlington as well.

Also, I guess I'd have to say East Dean, because I could never say Seaford, and it's the nearest village to the walk down the meandering river at Cuckmere Haven, which, partaking of such an activity on a summer's evening is as mellow and as pleasant (usually) as you can get in Sussex.

You can have rather a gay time in Wilmington. A walk across the Long Man, followed by a pub lunch and then watch the Morris Men.
