VISITORS' GUIDE TO ATTRACTIONS WITHIN EASY REACH OF ANGMERING

Angmering is situated almost in the centre-south of the county of West Sussex and is therefore ideal as a base for visiting the many attractions our beautiful county has to offer. With three hotels, Angmering is a viable touring base; these are Angmering Manor Hotel, The Lamb at Angmering, and a Premier Inn. Further, there are also two good caravan sites (Acorns Camping and Ecclesden Farm) on the edge of the village providing a base for tourists who want the freedom and benefits of their own accommodation.

Below is a selection of places to visit in West Sussex that are within about 20 miles of Angmering or say 30 minutes car journey, mainly using the principal road arteries - A27, A24, A29 and A259. Additionally, the cities of Brighton and Portsmouth are both just 45 minutes drive from Angmering. The list may be equally useful to visitors or to Angmering residents who have recently moved to West Sussex. The attractions are arranged from east to west to make it easier when planning visits.

And finally, do not forget Angmering itself. Angmering has far more listed buildings than any of its neighbouring parishes, many built in local brick and flint with the occasional timber framed house, two or three dating from the 14th and 15th centuries. You will need to walk the village to really appreciate them and spot their features. In doing so, sit in The Square for a while and take in the delights of this attractive village while sipping a cup of coffee or something a bit stronger! A booklet "A Walk through Angmering's Conservation Area" is available from the Angmering Parish Council offices in The Square .For facilities and activities within the parish, click here.
