Arundel castle always seems to impress people from overseas.

 

[Everest]

Back to the airport

 

[gripper stebson]

Cuckmere Haven has a very English feel on a bright winters day. Took some yanks there once and they loved it.

 

[Seagull58]

Warwick Castle if you don't mind the long journey.

 

[Telboy]

The Amex

 

[martin tyler]

Calais

 

[Stat Brother]

If I had a bike for each time I've come down Crossbush causeway (the scenic route to Arundel) as a car grinds to a halt and then a camera appears out of the driver side window.
I'd had my own bike shop.

Calais

Too nice. How about Croydon?

 

[goldstone68]

Alfriston,
Beachy Head

 

[Gwylan]

The Amex

Definitely. I remember taking a Spanish guy to Upton Park to watch us lose to the Hammers. It was a cracking match (it was our 90/91 play-off season) and he was absolutely enthralled by the game, the atmosphere, the whole package. He was snooty about English football before the game and was less than pleased about it being a second-tier game but came out a convert

Locally - Up on the Downs - Devil's Dyke, Beachy Head/Seven Sisters, or a walk along the river up/down from Arundel and then lunch at one of the riverside pubs
London landmarks
Bath
Edinburgh
Cornish coast
....and Croydon, just to keep it real.

Surprised it took till post 14, but is of course the right answer

pretty much this

Had an adult Iranian student with us and took him out into brighton and sampled all sorts of pubs including real ale,sports bar,gay bar,he loved the star and the barman kept giving him samples of the ales on offer. The student was a decent lad and refused to let mr&mrs rev buy a drink all night! He learnt more pwoper english that night than in class.

 

[Paskman]

Bodiam Castle, Chichester and Ashdown Forest -the whole World has heard of Winnie the Pooh. All followed by an evening at the Six Bells in Chiddingly

 

[Tooting Gull]

With the 'Christmas' theme in mind I'd take them for a day to London and just have a walk around. After about 4pm when the lights are on you can get a bus up Regent St for the lights, do Covent Garden, Trafalgar Square...all good stuff at that time of year. The South Bank is good too, maybe get them hammered on mulled wine. Now THAT's English.
