West Sussex County Council: Attractions in West Sussex (Places to Visit and Group Travel Guide)

West Sussex is rich in heritage, places of natural beauty, culture and attractions. One of the most wooded counties in the country, 80% of the county is rural and over 50% designated as Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The rolling chalk hills of the South Downs run through the middle of the county. To the north lies the rich countryside of the Weald with its attractive small towns and villages, while the sheltered waters and quiet creeks of Chichester Harbour are to the South West.
