Plaistow is a small village in the Chichester District of West Sussex. The village has a shop, a pub, The Sun Inn and an Anglican Church set out around the village green and pond, and has retained its old world charm and sleepy character. An ideal base for a self catering holiday exploring the area, Plaistow is close to the many places of interest and local beauty spots that abound in this part of West Sussex. The National Trust owns much of what remains of the abundant forest and also nearby Black Down, Marley Common, and the Devil’s Punch Bowl at Hindhead, all of which are within easy reach and well worth a visit.
