Round
and About
Go
through the gate near the foot of the
drive, and you will find a path that leads
you eventually up onto the Downs. Our
immediate neighbour is Wolstonbury Hill,
whose summit you may reach within about
forty minutes walk from the house.
There
are plenty of other walks that will take
you, for instance, to Ditchling Beacon in
the East, or, if you are really energetic,
to Chanctonbury in the West. By the field
paths, Hurstpierpoint
village is about twenty-five minutes
away.
Hassocks
is one and a half miles away in the
opposite direction, and it is from there
that you may take the train into Brighton
(10 minutes) or up to London (55
minutes).
The
two villages between them have a couple of
supermarkets and a wide variety of shops
(including, in Hurstpierpoint, a very good
bookshop). There are doctors and dentists
in both, although most residents use one
or other of the doctors at the new
Hurstpierpoint Health Centre.

Brighton,
with its pier, marina, theatre,
festival, race-course and
night-life, is only nine miles
away. Map>>

During
the day, you can take the bus from the top
of the drive or take a train.
Glyndebourne
may be reached in a little over
half-an-hour. There are many attractive
places to visit in West Sussex. Gatwick
Airport is about half-an-hour's drive
away.
