Arundel, which is less than 5 miles away, is a historic market town dominated by the symbolic castle and the rising spire of the cathedral.

Why not take the opportunity to visit the Arundel Wetland and Wildlife Centre? This area is a series of naturalised lakes, ponds and channels, each offering wetlands habitats for wildlife and wildfowl from around the world.

Chichester, the cathedral city of Sussex, is just a 15-minute drive away and has delightful, cobbled pedestrianised streets with an abundance of shops, restaurants, leisure facilities and the ornate cathedral and Festival Theatre. The beaches at Climping and Littlehampton are around 6 miles away. Climping is a beautiful unspoilt beach of Special Scientific Interest. At its eastern end, beside the mouth of the River Arun in Littlehampton, the West Beach Café was built by local craftsmen using materials sourced locally. It is worth a visit as the fish and chips come highly recommended! Pub within a mile.

Excellent property in quiet location with good sized rooms. Handy for Arundel, Chichester and the South Downs. Village pub about 15 minutes walk away but other amenities generally require a drive.
