Midhurst & Surrounds 

Midhurst lies in a beautiful part of West Sussex on the River Rother. It is an ancient market town that boasts many heritage buildings and fine old inns.

St. Ann’s Hill was the site of the town’s now ruined castle, though it takes little effort to imagine how commanding it must have been in its heyday.

Cowdray Park is a popular location; visitors flock here for the stunning acres of parkland filled with ancient oaks, beeches and chestnuts, as well as the famous polo club and Gold Cup that is contested each summer.

• Due north is Blackdown, the highest point in Sussex at 919ft. Owned by the National Trust and offering great views out over Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, as well as the North & South Downs.
