The Hidden Places of Sussex Book

This is the 5th edition of Hidden Places guides covering Sussex, a county rich in heritage and endowed with attractive rolling hills and beautiful woodlands containing a wealth of delightful rural hamlets and villages. The charming and picturesque coastline is steeped in the history of the Battle of Hastings and the Cinque Ports but of course possesses some delightful seaside towns. The county is packed with historical sites from the Roman town of Chichester, and magnificent Arundel Castle with its origins in the 11th century to the Tudor ruins of Cowdray Park and the grand houses such as the Elizabethan mansion of Wakehurst Place. Sussex is equally famous for great names from the world of arts that include HG Wells, Anthony Trollope, Virginia Woolf and Rudyard Kipling. The book is written in an attractive narrative style and is packed with information and coloured photographs covering the more secluded and little known venues for food, accommodation and places of interest as well as the more enduring attractions of the county. The cover features eye-catching photographs of Batemans near Burwash, chalk cliffs near Beachy Head and Alfriston on the South Downs.
