Would like to spend a few days (3-4) in rural(ish) England but not too far from ED. Want somewhere with self catering, probably down south. Needs to be where there are interesting walks. Could be by the sea but doesn't have to be. Any suggestions please?

mancity68 this is half a story : Longleat, magnificent Stourhead, Stourton Gardens, crop circles, Salisbury Plain, Stonehenge, the road west, Peter Gabriel, delicate Salisbury Cathedral, 16 locks at Caen Hill (not many people know that)

Tess of the D'Urbevilles, lark song, Downs, Bowood House, West Kennet Long Barrow, so much history and atmosphere. Happy holidays.

Sussex Weald - no distance and good walking, birding etc. Ashdown Forest is a treat for Winnie the Pooh lovers; Bluebell railway is a nostalgic delight.


This place is nice:

I'm veering towards Arundel numbers as Lady Norwood suggested, but I'm grateful for all the suggestions. Still haven't finally made up my mind.

Then Arundel is great, as the surrounding areas are beautiful


Amberly, Mid hurst, Petworth, and back lanes to the country pubs are just perfect


Then nearby is also Burpham, The George & Dragon and maybe cricket at the castle ground, but the pub is right next door to the other cricket ground for local matches


Bognor is crap, go take a look. But Goodwood estate and Petworth house are great, a little further out is this place

As you drive down, take the A29 for the most scenic route

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
