Book excerpt: Excerpt from Black's Guide to the County of Sussex and Its Watering-Places The county of Sussex divides itself into two distinct lines or districts of travel and research - one along the northern and middle portions, amid the woodland scenery of St. Leonard's and Tilgate forests, near Horsham, or that which abounds in Ashdown forest and the lovely country south of Tunbridge Wells and East Grinstead; - the other along the South Downs, whether below their escarpments towards the north, or along their slopes and cliffs coming down to the sea on the south. By far the best way of visiting the various scenes of interest is not to make any connected tour through the county, but - now that abundant facilities are offered by the network of railways - to fix on definite stopping-places, making them centres of operation for diverging excursions. In all the small towns of Sussex good, comfortable inns, with cleanliness, civility, and moderate charges, will be found - domestic hostelries - which are often to be preferred to the more pretentious hotels in the watering-places. The following will be found excellent central stations of this kind: - Petworth, from whence can be visited the Great House with its galleries, Midhurst and Cowdray, and the lovely hill scenery from Burton to Ladyholt on the Hampshire border.
