#SummerInWestSussex

With its mix of cool beach vibe and rural idyll, wonderful West Sussex is a great place for a holiday. Set in the South East of the UK we have great connections to London and surrounding areas, and you can easily reach us by train, bus, car or bike. However you arrive, you’ll be very welcome!

In spring and summer, lively seaside towns and beachfront restaurants buzz with life and alfresco dining is a joy. Families love the rock pools and marine wildlife and water sport enthusiasts find adventure on the high tide. Our beautiful gardens burst into bloom and our vineyards grow plump grapes, ready to be made into Sussex sparkling wine. We’ve got castles and museums, eco-campsites and luxury hotels to enjoy. So, what’re you waiting for?

Easy to get to but hard to leave behind, spend your summer with us in West Sussex.
