Horsham
Horsham is an attractive market town in West Sussex in the South East of England, conveniently located approximately 20 miles from Worthing, Brighton and Guildford. The attractive old area of Horsham centres around the tree-lined Horsham “Causeway” which is regarded as one of the finest streets in Sussex with its lovely, well maintained houses and a resident ghost!
