All of the five market towns featured here are each unique in character, and offer a wonderfully rich experience to the visitor. They have a certain timeless charm, in common, more redolent of a gentler era.

The five market towns are each surrounded by outstanding downland and wealden scenery criss-crossed by rivers, countless footpaths, bridleways and cycling routes. In addition they feature regular markets, superb nearby visitor attractions to suit all ages and tastes, an outstanding variety of places to eat, drink and relax, and if that wasn't enough each of the towns also has ample town centre parking.

Horsham district has many fascinating places to visit and to walk or simply enjoy the countryside. There is a timeless quality to the landscape which is also apparent in the delightful towns and villages. This, along with its accessibility, tranquility, architectural heritage and a rich history, make these market towns and Horsham district, the pride of Sussex.
