If you are visiting Sussex to perhaps go to one of thoseSussex cottages then I would advise that during your stay you should check out some of these towns and cities as well as locations, they are well worth a visit.
Brighton & Hove
This is quite a recent city and it was formed when the two towns joined together, it is England’s most popular seaside resort. The thing that Brighton is of course famous for is the beach but also it’s bars, restaurants, nightclubs and other things like it’s gay community and the many seafood stations that can be found all over the beach. The Royal Pavillion which was built by King George IV and has been used as a first world war hospital where 4,000 Indian men were treated and only 32 of them died.
Worthing
Although this one isn’t as grand as Brighton it still a very popular beach town and there are many things that you can do here to keep you occupied. In terms of history it would seem that the Dome is one of the most historic buildings in the town. Formally an ice rink built in 1910 it was converted into a 950 seated Cinema in 1922 and it still open making it one of Britain’s oldest operational cinema’s.
The South Downs
The good news about this area of land is that a lot of it cannot be built on because it has been deemed a national park by the government. One of the big points of the area is Cissbury ring and it serves as the highest point in Worthing too. A lot of strange happenings have happened over the downs over the years and they include UFO sightings and devil worshipping
So if it is a brea#k to get away from those serviced offices Canary Wharf and that web design job

The first thing to note is that Arundel is a market town and civil parish in the south downs of West Sussex within the south of England. It is famous for its Sussex cottages which is one of the main reasons people visit the town.
Television
There have actually been a fair number of television shows shot on the set of Arundel castle and one of them is the 1988 episode of Doctor Who named Silver Nemesis as the castle of Arundel was depicted as being Windsor castle. In this episode the Doctor and Ace visit England in 1988 in which a group of rival factions, Cybermen, Nazis and a sorceress named Lady Peninforte are all trying to gain control of statue made of living metal. Any fan will of course know that the Cybermen are one of the Doctor’s greatest enemies. The castle has also actually been used in various other programmes such as MacGyver and The Madness Of King George.
Tours
You can of course go on a tour of the castle itself and this is well worth doing if you are into your history as the castle tour really is very fantastic indeed. Taking a tour here does not cost too much money either and the castle is open for banquets and various other things during the course of the year and they are all great fun.
Plays
On top of all of this you will find that you can catch a play on the outside of the castle on various dates of the year and these are usually Shakespeare plays, they can be a real laugh during the summer seasons and the best ones are performed then.
So there you have it, get away from your web design job in that serviced offices Victoria office that you have and get out to Arundel for a really good time!
