Things to do in Steyning and Bramber
The ruins of a Norman castle on a mound above the village. Free to wander, wonderful at sunset, and older than most of England's cathedrals.
A medieval timber-framed house with gardens. Check opening days before you go: it keeps its own hours, as befits something this old.
Steyning's Norman church, with the story of St Cuthman, who pushed his mother here in a wheelbarrow. Really.
Timber-framed houses, independent shops, tea rooms and pubs. The kind of street film crews go looking for.
An Iron Age hillfort crowned with beech trees, on the South Downs Way. Big views to the sea and the Weald.
Flat riverside walks and an old railway path for cycling, all the way to Shoreham.
Walk it one way. We'll drive you back.
Walking a stretch of the South Downs Way from Steyning, Bramber or Washington? Leave the car where it is and book a fixed-price pickup at the other end. No retracing your steps, no hunting for a bus that comes on Tuesdays.
