Any "nice " Town worth visting in West Sussex ?.

[Uncle Spielberg]

Any decent Town in West Sussex / Hampshire border worth visiting, not your Worthings or Chichesters but something mid size with a few interesting shops or something different. Also any decent country pubs that way with nice scenery and decent food ?.

I normally head East on a day out but today I am going to be bold and go West.

 

[jevs]

Horsham ? or is that too far east/north

 

[Gully]

Arundel, there is a castle, the bird place, some stunning scenery and I believe there are several good pubs serving locally brewed beer...what more could a man want!

(You could even go to the chalkpits at Amberley first, for a slice of Sussex history...one of my forefathers worked there as a limeburner when it was a chalk quarry...then call in at Arundel for a bite to eat and a pint before heading home)

Done both, come on be more imaginative.

 

[PCBEARDMLORD]

Midhurst ?

Or, just over border, but Petersfield is nice

 

[Beach Hut]

Selsey ?

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Petworth?

West Sussex is a bit shite really. I would head East. Go for a walk around Birling Gap and have lunch at somewhere like The Sussex Ox or head into Alfriston and pick a pub there.

West Sussex? Crap?

For every Crawley you lot have got a Hailsham or Polegate. Shall we mention how depressing it is to get off at Bexhill Station? Let's talk about St Leonards Warrior Square, shall we?

Uncle S, don't go to the big towns in West Sussex - explore it's villages. Get your bike, get on the train and get off at Goring by Sea and cycle round Ferring, East Preston, Angmering and along the coast there. Go to Findon Village and have a pint in the Gun Inn, with all the race jockey memorabilia on the walls, and then walk up my favourite bit of Sussex: Cissbury Ring and admire the views of God's own country.

Go driving through Pulborough, West Chiltington and Thakeham. Billingshurst is lovely too.

Get on your bike and discover forgotten and disused railway line cycle routes near Horsham. There's a corking little war museum near Horsham too.

It's the little, quirky parts of Sussex that are the bits worth seeing.

West Sussex? Crap? Not on your nelly.

WEST WEST WEST SUSSEX!

Boxgrove

Boxgrove is the BIZNIZ as is Fishbourne Palace. Damn good shout. How about the Witterings on a lovely day like this?

He also said "or something different". As far as pubs go I'd highly recommend the Goffs Manor, the pitch and putt golf there is good too.

So you suggested shopping in an identikit shopping centre in a depressing identikit new town. This isn't Berkshire or Surrey we're talking about, it's God's own country.
