Situated on the English Coast, with the rolling Sussex Downs and wooded harbours, West Sussex offers some of the most beautiful countryside in England with 80% of the county being rural and over 50% designated as Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. These Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty have now been recognised with the announcement that they are now protected as the South Downs National Park. Rich in heritage and culture, from stately homes, castles, racecourses, art galleries, festivals and sporting events, it is not surprising that West Sussex is one of the most popular areas to buy rural property.
