MY FAVOURITE PLACE IN SUSSEX

BY KATE STEWART

Thank you to Felpham In Focus reader, Clive Buss, for sending in his suggestions. Clive was born in Hailsham and has very happy memories of growing up in the Sussex countryside. He moved to Chichester in 1974 and now lives in Felpham. He says: “I adore the glorious, Sussex countryside, we mere mortals have so much to give thanks for.

“One of my favourite places is the woodland and open spaces behind Adsdean House, Funtington due to the countless walks I’ve had all round it. There are two long footpaths to choose from, giving access to several villages with pubs providing food and drink, lots of woodland walking, and the joy of our Sussex countryside. Our county is the best in my opinion.

“About 20 years ago I walked the whole of the South Downs Way from Eastbourne to Winchester with a friend, and I warmly recommend it.”

In Focus reader Jules says one of her favourite places is the walk along the cycle path between Hoe Lane and Barnham. Julie says: “It was such a beautiful day, so I took this picture (see right) near to the little bridge across the Rife. The fields were completely flooded so we didn’t make it to Barnham, but it was a lovely walk, all the same!”

Please so send in pictures and short descriptions of places you love in Sussex, anywhere that makes you happy that you would like to share with others. Email: office@infocusmagazines.co.uk
