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

Southwater is a rapidly expanding village of over 9,000 people just south of Horsham, in the beautiful county of West Sussex. The village centre is now very attractive after a modernisation programme which has given it the feel of a small 21st century town. Southwater Country Park is the real jewel in the village. Based around the former brickworks, which produced hundreds of millions of bricks for London's sewers in the first part of the twentieth century - Southwater Country Park has 70 acres of attractive water and landscape which is enjoyed by both man and wildlife. The village is also home to Southwater Water Sports Centre which offers facilities for sailing and canoeing, and in addition there is a children's adventure playground. For those interested in cycling and walking, the country park and new village centre both have direct access to the Downs Link footpath/cycleway. Other facilities on offer include Southwater Skate Park and Leisure centre.

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.
