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

    • Very happy to recommend Tommy Rooney's excellent work again. He's been servicing my boiler for years now, but this time he swiftly fixed a leaky radiator valve. I put out a call on Friday and it was repaired - and improved - by Monday evening. I asked him if he had an opinion about my other radiators, and he reassured me as he pointed out the leaky bathroom rad was a non-standard length, which was why it caused problems. There followed a brief but detailed history of improvements in regulations for valves and fittings over the years, so that I could understand precisely what the issue was. How many plumbers will do that for you? "I've just got a memory for weird things," says Tommy modestly.

    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.
