West Sussex: Coast and Downs
West Sussex occupies the stretch of south coast between Brighton and Hampshire, South Downs rolling inland from seaside towns. Chichester serves as county town, cathedral and harbor adding character to a city that functions as service center for surrounding villages. Goodwood hosts motor racing and horse racing on the downs above.
Worthing and Bognor Regis handle traditional seaside tourism with varying success. Crawley grew around Gatwick Airport, providing housing and services for an employer that dominates the local economy. Horsham and Haywards Heath serve commuter populations who work in London or Brighton.
The Weald stretches into the northern portion, countryside that has attracted wealthy retreats for generations. Property prices reflect desirability; local residents compete with second-home buyers and retirees for housing stock.
