Steyning and beyond

Historic Steyning, nestling against the inspiring landscape of the South Downs, is well known as one of the most picturesque towns in Sussex dating from early Saxon times. The old core of Steyning has a large number of historic buildings, including many from the medieval and Tudor period. Among the historic buildings is the Old Grammar School, founded in 1614 by William Holland, and occupying a set of 15th Century buildings. Steyning is rich in history, with scores of timber framed buildings in and around the ancient High Street, its excellent museum and St Andrews, the Norman church, which contains some of the best Romanesque architecture in England.

Steyning town offers the visitor a fantastic selection of interesting shops with many independent retailers, including the award winning Cobblestone walk, and a monthly farmers' market. There are also restaurants, pubs and tea rooms offering delicious food and drink.

Steyning’s immediate neighbour is the small village of Bramber which has remained largely unchanged over the centuries. It is overlooked by the remains of the castle built after the Norman Conquest and now looked after by English Heritage. St Mary’s House, also in Bramber, is a magnificent late medieval house and has interesting connections - King Charles II hid there on his escape to France and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle chose the house as a setting for one of the Sherlock Holmes stories. It is well worth visiting and we have information on St Mary’s on our ‘Places to visit’ page.

Rightfully known as a great destination for walkers, Steyning provides easy access to beautiful countryside, the South Downs Way and to other long distance paths. There are also excellent local routes to the mysterious Chanctonbury Ring, the Iron Age hill fort at Cissbury Ring, and delightfully gentle walks through the Adur Valley.

To the east there is fine walking along the South Downs Way towards Truleigh Hill and beyond to Devil's Dyke. There are spectacular views en route both inland over the Weald and out to sea over Shoreham by Sea and Brighton.
