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

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
    • So dangerous!    Can you be more specific about the road this was in and when you report it?  Maybe there’s some CCTV footage available
