Take a tour along the Sussex, through some of the most beautiful countryside and villages in England and discover pictures, stories and tales from the earliest times to the present day.

Travelling through some of the most fascinating towns and beautiful countryside in England, this book is more than just a tourist guide, it contains anecdotes, pictures, oddities and strange facts sourced from locals. From Rye to Chichester, we find bustling modern cities, historic tourist towns and ancient villages, cliffs with sweeping views of the channel, sand dune lined beaches, rolling hills, great houses and gardens, castles and history going back over thousands of years. We experience exciting nightlife, great food, exotic hotels, quiet country lanes, historic pubs, modern shopping malls and unique stores. Come with us and enjoy the sights, people and places of the southeast coast of England. The A259 follows the coast from Folkestone in Kent to just short of Portsmouth in Hampshire. This book covers the route from Rye to Chichester Harbour in Sussex. Most of the 90 miles covered consists of a single carriageway that tends to follow the coast with a few twists and turns inland. Most of these places are less than two hours away by train from London. Stopping to look around becomes a pleasure when unearthing the stories behind local landmarks.
