48 HOURS IN WORTHING

Although it is one of the largest seaside towns to be found on England's south coast, there's an understated charm about Worthing.

- 

And while it might not have the edgy swagger of its eastern cousins at Brighton and Eastbourne, it makes up for that with a beautifully maintained, wide promenade with plenty of space to walk and enjoy the sea air, - and places to park!

The town was listed in the Domesday Book and came to prominence during the Georgian era, when it became fashionable with wealthy visitors, and subsequently during the 19th and 20th centuries with holidaymakers.

In the later 20th century, it became something of a retirement hotspot, but since the 1990s, the town's population has enjoyed an influx of young families in search of the relaxed outdoor lifestyle at more affordable prices than they would encounter in neighbouring areas.

Quality restaurants, a good town centre and an Art Deco pier - what's not to like?
