Day 1. Chichester to Bramber<br />
Chichester to Bramber 40 km.<br />
You have a choice of travelling via the A259 along<br />
the coast or via the A27 with deviations.<br />
Your route – the A259<br />
Pick up the A259 which starts as a straight, tree lined<br />
road with impressive autumn colours. Look out to<br />
your left for views across to the South Downs where<br />
you can make out the distinctive white domes of<br />
Goodwood racecourse.<br />
Climping<br />
Stop for a beach walk at Climping or a coffee at<br />
Bailiffscourt (and say hello to the peacock). From<br />
here, you can choose to carry on the A259, but our<br />
recommendation is to turn inland along Ford Road<br />
towards Arundel. There are three notable Medieval<br />
churches along this road. Alternatively, coincide your<br />
road trip with market day at the old Ford Airfield<br />
(you can’t miss the giant plane outside) on Thursdays,<br />
Saturdays and Sundays.<br />
Lunch at Arundel<br />
Arundel is home to a magnificent Medieval castle<br />
and an impressive late 19th century cathedral in<br />
French Gothic style. It’s a beautiful place for a lunch<br />
stop with a river, quirky boutiques, antique shops<br />
and a museum.<br />
Places for lunch<br />
The Parsons Table in Tarrant Street gets a mention<br />
in the Michelin Guide. Alternatively head out of<br />
town to Burpham where The George comes highly<br />
recommended, and if you walk around the back of<br />
the church there are more great views of the Downs.<br />
