Worthing Mini Guide

What can you Tell me About Worthing and Lancing?
It’s one of the oldest inhabited places in the UK with evidence dating back six thousand years that people lived and worked there. It’s also a seaside town that has only just woken up to the benefits of being a holiday resort; prior to that it was the location of choice for retirees from London who wanted a mild climate and the sea air. It’s large, over 100,000 people live there and it’s a centre for financial services. As a tourist destination it has lots of interesting attractions too. Lancing is Worthing’s sleepy neighbour, a former holiday resort but one which is now content to slumber.



How do I get to Worthing and Lancing?

What can I do in Worthing and Lancing?
Lancing is simply a place to take things easy. It’s got a nice beach and seafront but little else. Worthing has a lot more to offer including the annual ‘Birdman’ festival. There’s even a replica of the Sistine Chapel in the local church dedicated to the English martyrs. Art is popular in the town and there are several galleries plus an ‘open house’ event to display art and craft in people’s homes. Out of the town you have the walking country of the South Downs Way and Highdown Hill, part of the downs, from where you’ll get a magnificent view of the town.
