Luxury self-catering accommodation in Pulborough
On the edge of the South Downs National Park, Pulbourgh's wisteria-covered buildings make a picturesque setting for family self-catering holidays in country settings.
With the River Arun running alongside this country village, the outlying areas are pleasingly full of wildlife, with peregrine and lapwings both on the sightings list of nearby RSPB Pulborough Nature Reserve. The petite West Sussex town has a big commuter population, but its gorgeous Georgian buildings give it a relaxing rural feel with the South Downs National Park also on the doorstep. Walk the Pulborough-to-Petworth route, popping into stately National Trust property Petworth House, known for its Turners, before catching a bus back into town.
Head south to the coast and the historic cathedral city of Chichester, a suitably busy hub with more stunning Georgian buildings, streets and lanes, and plenty of tea shops to relax in after exploring the shops. Chichester Harbour is a wild green area just to the south, with sheltered waters and thriving maritime history. Plovers and herons live here, as well as geese, gulls and terns, so make sure you bring binoculars. Feeling beachy? Just along the coast is Worthing, a good stop-off for those who love taking long walks with tasty seafood snacks.
