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

Handcross is a small Victorian village close to the A23 main London to Brighton road. Surrounded by the remains of the once great Wealden forest of Anderida, Handcross makes a great centre for a self catering holiday, exploring the rich history and stunning countryside of this area of West Sussex. Home to the 30 acres of Nymans Garden run by the National Trust and close to the 20 acres of woodland and water gardens at High Beeches Garden. Handcross has two public houses, The Red Lion which was refurbished in 2010 in contemporary style, and The Royal Oak, which is a more traditional "English" pub, offering home cooked food and cask ales.

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.
