Just a stone’s throw from the town centre, Midhurst common is a delightful place to explore with plenty of paths through woodland and sandy heath. Three ponds are home to an abundance of fish and are accessed by silver sandy dunes.

Kingsley boasts a rather large and beautiful village pond that is hidden from the road. Beyond this is a sandy common dotted with gnarly oaks and coated in purple heather.

In the summer months West Wittering pulls the crowds for its spectacular sand, but at the far end of this stretch of beach is a National Trust managed nature reserve with a special sand dune habitat, which makes a wonderful walk all year round.
