Goodwood is very nearby at the edge of the Downs. It is a stunning house and well worth visiting. For horse racing there is the famous Goodwood Week in July/August and several more relaxed evening race meetings in the flat racing season. For motor enthusiasts there is The Festival of Speed in summer or the more retro Revival Meeting in September.

Arundel Castle (The Historic home of the Dukes of Norfolk) and the nearby Catholic Arundel Cathedral are only five miles away.
West Wittering beach is about half an hour away, it is a delight to visit and there are great walks around the sand dunes at the East Head entrance to Chichester Harbour. From the beach you get superb views back towards Chichester and of the Downs beyond.
Windsurfing and other water sports are easily arranged through the local surfing shops near the beach.
