Favourite Sussex Town?

[The Clamp]

Simple really. What's your favourite town/village/area in Sussex? Why do you like it and what is there to do there?

Rye. If you want to escape noise, hustle and bustle, this is the place. Walking up to the church and dreaming that one day I could ever afford to live in one of those houses surrounding it! All you can hear is the sound of gulls. Lovely!

When I first came down to Sussex in 1995 I absolutely loved Horsham - lots of little privately owned shops including a superb second hand book shop, its own Brewery and a County Cricket out Ground. All of which have gone to be replaced by usual High Street Suspects and massive housing developments.

Doesn't really answer the question does it?

 

[Notters]

Er, Brighton obviously...

 

[Pevenseagull]

Brunswick

Shoreham. I was born there, and despite living in Portslade, I spent a lot of time in Shoreham whilst a teenager.
Later, my son was also born in Southlands.

I love the river, the beach, the downs and general atmosphere of the place. It's a shame it was slightly too expensive to buy anywhere, when returning to Sussex.

 

[Geestar]

Hove actually

 

[Biscuit Barrel]

Another vote for Rye.

Hove seafront. Just love walking along the promenade with the sun out a sea breeze looking out to the sea then stopping for an ice cream. Heaven

 

[SwedishSonna]

Lewes. Was a great place to be raised.

Easy one this....Brighton!

Born and bred, and although I now live in Worthing, I try to get over to Brighton most weekends just to mooch and people watch and soak up the atmos.

Highly commended: Keymer & Bramber

 

[Eggmundo]

Lancing.

Walk from the seafront to the downs in 20 minutes.

Stand at the top of Mcintyres Field and gaze upon the Center of Excellence.

A short amble along the A27 and you're at the River Adur.

Mooch up to Lancing College and watch the planes coming in to land.

Yes it's got it's faults but It is affordable (at the moment) and WE'RE GETTING AN IKEA!!!!!!!

We agree on something!
I love it, the river, the walks and as you say the general atmosphere. The Linksway to Bramber is one of my favourite strolls. Or up to Mill Hill, along to the Dyke, down into Southwick, stroll back via The Buckingham. Stunning. . The pubs and restaurants are first class,
I am lucky enough to be able to call it home these days. Walking home over the footbridge and the end of each working day is one of my great pleasures.

Yeah, of course! But are we a town anymore?
