Frensham Ponds comprise of two ponds, Little and Great.
They’re brilliant places to walk and are only about a 15 minute drive from our property.
The Great Pond has a beach, sailing club and food shack.
The Little Pond has a NT food shack opening times vary … but if open the Hot Chocolate is yummy. This is a very popular place for filming too and sometimes interesting sets are there.

This is a really charming spot .. with 3 large ponds to walk around at Waggoners Wells . and then a much longer walk can be had on the Common. A firm local favourite.

Gilbert White is a local 18th Century celebrity .. famous for his work as a Naturalist. The house and garden is charming.
The house also houses The Oates Museum .. in memory of the Oates family including the hero Captain Lawrence Oates who famously sacrificed himself during Scott's Polar expedition uttering the phrase 'I'm just going outside and may be sometime" ...
There is also a handsome tea room.
Good place to visit combined with Jane Austen's Home or a walk at The Hangers.

Local village with two shopping streets .. offering the basics to a few speciality shops .. including Hill & Co for gifts and brocante. There is also a great vintage clothes shop. Rose Tea Rooms offers good food. Alternatively, Grayshott Pottery has it's own cafe to rest your feet after browsing.

I like Midhurst .. takes about 20 mins to get there .. but it has a classic country vibe. Try the streets around The Spread Eagle Pub .. you could imagine Miss Marple being a customer there .. particularly if you like a starched white table cloth! Some excellent independent shops offering country brocante.
You can visit the ruins of Cowdray Castle or the estate shop .. which is very classy but expensive! It also has a good cafe.

If you like shopping .. and antique shops you will like Petworth and makes for a great place to stroll. Petworth House is actually located in the town, where there is a NT tea room. There are tea rooms and cafes in the town too .. I like Tiffins as it's quirky. Street parking can be competitive, but there is a large and cheap carpark just off the square.
The Angel Inn is excellent for lunch with a small carpark opposite or a short drive out of the town The Horseguards at Tillington is another excellent pub... booking probably needed.

Arundel is another interesting and tourist worthy town with both unique independent shops and quality antique shops .
The Castle which dominates the town is very impressive.
There are numerous walks and The Wetlands Centre.

A fairly new venue in a lovely old building. They have spent a lot on the interior design and it feels quite special. The food is nice too. They have glass pods in the garden for private dining which are popular. Definitely a book ahead of time place.
