With a timeline dating back to the ancient Kingdom of Sussex and beyond,
this south-eastern county is full of attractive and iconic treasures.
From the bustling seaside metropolis of Brighton to cosy chocolate-box
villages such as Amberley and the magnificent Chichester Cathedral, this
book takes the reader on a fascinating journey through market towns,
vast landscapes and distinctive places of notable interest. The
beautiful valley of Devil’s Dyke, the medieval Pevensey Castle and the
history of Norman Sussex draw countless visitors and are among this
collection of Sussex sites that capture the character and intrigue of
the striking county.
Breweries and beaches, castles and museums and those scenes of bucolic
splendour that continue to attract artists, celebrities, photographers
and writers are all here in a lovingly painted picture of Sussex today.
In 50 Gems of Sussex, historian, tour guide and author Kevin Newman
explores fifty unmissable gems that make this southern county special.
