Towns and Villages in Sussex

Across Sussex you'll be delighted by the thriving market towns and picturesque villages and hamlets of this area, each with their own individual character. The independent shopping opportunities and bustling market days; the enchanting glimpses through twisting medieval streets and tiny twittens; the ancient castles and attractive spired churches; the hidden villages with cricket greens and duck ponds overlooked by the village pub are all part of villages in Sussex.

The Sussex market towns of the area, namely Burgess Hill, East Grinstead, Hailsham, Heathfield, Horsham, Haywards Heath, Crowborough, Uckfield and Lewes all offer speciality shopping and a place to enjoy a bite to eat, whether in fine restaurants or attractive al fresco cafes. Antique shops, galleries and local crafts can be found in many of the towns and villages which frequently host a wide range of cultural events and activities.

Along the coastal corner of Sussex you will discover the towns of Seaford - offering a delightfully unspoilt seafront with views to the South Downs and across the Seaford Bay - and the bustling port of Newhaven home to the cross channel ferry service to Dieppe and Le Havre.
