Horsham and the surrounding area boasts a varied landscape – the woodland in the north contrasts with the southern downland where historic houses nestle at the foot of the South Downs, and the central pasture and farmland is crossed by meandering rivers.

The countryside is accessible with a good network of public rights of way for walkers, cyclists and horse riders to enjoy, and the family friendly Downs Link route is a particular highlight with some great places to stop off and refuel.

Horsham itself and the market towns of Billingshurst, Henfield, Pulborough, Steyning and Storrington provide an attractive, historic setting.  Across the area you’ll find Michelin star restaurants, gastropubs, weekly food markets, and dozens of artisan producers and growers, including 12 micro-breweries and 6 vineyards, all promoted through an annual food and drink festival in September.
