HORSHAM TOWN
Horsham is a delightful, picturesque town set in the heart of scenic
West Sussex in the Western part of the High Weald. The town is surrounded
by beautiful countryside with areas of the ancient St Leonard’s
Forest still to be found.
Historically the town was known for its weekly markets and annual
fairs for cattle, sheep and horses. Horsham still has market days
but no longer for livestock.
Horsham offers a good variety of shops both major high street and
independent stores, many of these can be found under cover in Swan
Walk or in pedestrianised areas of the town. In the centre is the
historic Carfax – an old word meaning where four roads meet
- with its Victorian bandstand where musicians often perform. Piries
Place is a particularly charming square located just off the Carfax
housing eateries, bars, and a Waitrose supermarket. Piries Place
regularly hosts weekend entertainment. There is ample parking in
the town centre or the facility of Park & Ride is also available.
Leading from the town centre, the oldest and most historic street
in Horsham can be found, The Causeway. At the far end is the Grade
One Listed St Mary’s Church. The church was built in the 12th
Century and still retains parts dating back to the 13th Century,
its tall spire and great size indicates the ancient importance of
the town in those times. The museum is also located in The Causeway;
the building dates back to 1450 AD and here can be found the information
centre.
Beyond the Church is the River Arun and a walk across the bridge
will bring you to the Tennis Courts and Cricket field. For those
more adventurous a walk to the top of Denne Hill will provide an
excellent view of Horsham and the countryside around.
The city of Brighton is approximately 40 minute journey by car with
its unique shops and vibrant night life.
The city of Guildford is approximately 45 minute journey by car
with its theatre and historic buildings.
Gatwick Airport is located some 12 miles distant and is approximately
20 minutes by car or train.
Horsham main railway station is situated just outside the town centre
with direct routes to Gatwick, London Bridge and London Victoria.
As journey time by train to the City is just under 60 minutes and
with easy access to the M23 & M25 it makes Horsham the ideal
location for commuters, tourists and those simply wishing to visit.
Horsham has a comprehensive range of both independent and state
nursery, primary, secondary and 6th form colleges.
The famous Christ Hospital School was moved to the area in 1902
and the pupils can still be spotted in their distinctive uniforms
around the town.
Horsham today provides excellent leisure amenities with local golf
courses, sports centres and clubs, a newly renovated arts centre
including theatre and cinema and a good variety of restaurants and
pubs.
Horsham Park features a maze, skate board park, football pitches
and first rate children’s playground as well as tennis courts
and crazy golf.
Horsham offers the perfect balance between town and country living.
