Surrounded by rolling countryside, the village offers plenty of scenic walks, perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. The seaside town of Worthing is just 10 miles away, featuring family-friendly attractions like an art deco pier, Brooklands Park, and museums.

With excellent access via the M23 and M25, and free parking on-site, it’s an easy stop whether you’re travelling locally or from further afield. The pub sits close to the Worth Way, a scenic walking and cycling trail on a former railway line, making it a perfect refreshment point for outdoor enthusiasts.
