From Haywards Heath the rural and coastal
county of Sussex can be accessed. The county is now divided into
East and West Sussex and is bounded on the north by Surrey, east
by Kent, south by the English Channel, and west by Hampshire.
It is an area with a fertile coastal plain along which are scattered
numerous resort towns including Hastings, Bexhill, Eastbourne,
Seaford, Brighton, Shoreham-by-Sea, Worthing, Littlehampton and
Bognor. The South Downs Way runs along the grassy ridge of the
South Downs, giving splendid views over the countryside and the
