Running through holiday options in West Sussex? Feel free from the busier resorts by camping in Lancing on the Sussex coast, next to Worthing and Shoreham-by-Sea and between Brighton ten miles to the east and Bognor Regis 19 to the west.
Even more than kitesurfing and windsurfing from Lancing South Beach, we insist that that the very first thing you very must do from a Lancing campsite is to climb the hill to Lancing College for a piercing look at Lancing College Chapel, the oldest school chapel in the world and including one of the biggest stained glass windows in England, the Rose Window with over 30,000 pieces. (We’re shuddering at the thought of that one day smashing.)
Once downhill, take a turn around the chalky grasslands of Lancing Ring Nature Reserve, part of the South Downs National Park, or hotfoot it along the hotfoot it along the South Downs Way’s 13.5 miles from Lancing to Amberley, making sure to have a picnic pitstop at Chanctonbury Ring.
