Self-catering country cottages, houses and apartments in Faygate, West Sussex

Faygate is a hamlet in the Horsham district of West Sussex. It lies 3.4 miles south west of Crawley on the edge of the last remaining tracts of the once huge Wealden forest of Anderida. In Roman times the forest stretched for 120 miles in a broad swathe across south-east England. Today the forest is split up into seperate patches of thick woodland from which spring the sources of the rivers Ouse, Arun and Rother. Ashdown forest is the largest remaining of these, although other patches of this primeval woodland survive nearer at hand in the forests of St Leonards, Balcombe, Tilgate and Worth, once the haunts of highwaymen and smugglers. This area is very popular with walkers and golfers, positioned as it is on the edge of St Leonards forest and within a ring of prestigious golf courses.

From the coast to the countryside, seaside resorts to historic towns and picture-perfect villages, Sussex is chock-full of things to do, days out and places to see. Along the coast where the South Downs meet the sea, the high chalk cliffs dominate. The Seven Sisters run west from Beachy Head, the highest sea cliff in Britain at 530 feet, to Brighton well known for its Royal Pavilion with its domes and minarets. Further west along the coast Bognor Regis has been a center for seaside relaxation for over 200 years. Over half of the county is protected countryside, offering walking on the South Downs, through bluebell woods and ancient royal forests, or be inspired by the glorious gardens of the Sussex Weald. Look out for birds and other wildlife in the nature reserves and country parks dotting the county.
