Kingley Vale Camp Site

If appetites for history have been well and truly whetted by jaunts into Chichester, there’ll be no going hungry hereabouts: Goodwood Estate is 10 minutes’ drive from base for race tracks (horse and motorcar), golf courses (yes, more than one), an aerodrome and fab tours and afternoon tea at Goodwood House – and its not the only stately pile or historical site nearby worth a visit. To give everyone a change of scenery, make tracks for the coast – Bognor Regis seaside resort and its miniature golf, mini railway and boating lake are half an hour away, as is the sandy stretch of Climping beach, and Fishers Farm Park and trips on the South Downs Light Railway are both around 40-minute journeys. Need something for the grownups? Try wine tasting and tours at a handful of vineyards within 40 minutes, or opt for a refreshing beer instead at the Hogs Back Brewery, 50 minutes from base.
