Henfield and beyond
Henfield is a lovely small market town with a great choice of independent and individual shops. It's an interesting little town to explore and from here you can walk or cycle on The Downs Link along the old railway line from Henfield and head north towards the old station at West Grinstead station or south towards the Downs and Steyning and enjoy some beautiful scenery as it follows the line of the Adur.
Just five miles to the south is the popular vantage point of Devil's Dyke. At nearly a mile long, the Dyke valley is the longest, deepest and widest 'dry valley' in the UK. Everywhere you walk history surrounds you, from Iron Age forts to Victorian funfairs. When John Constable described the panorama from Devil's Dyke as 'the grandest view in the world', he wasn't wrong, but there is so much more to discover here than just a beautiful view.
Within 15 minutes drive and you will happen across delightful country villages encapsulating a wealth of history ; from Bramber with its enchanting historic 15th century timber-framed house of St Marys to the vibrant small town of Steyning full of narrow streets with many timber framed Tudor style buildings as well as some fine Georgian townhouses.
From the top of the South Downs the chalk hills slope away towards the vibrant and cosmopolitan city of Brighton just twelve miles from S80506. Here you can enjoy the decadence of the Royal Pavilion, once the summer home to the Prince Regent, or experience the 'vertical pier' of Brighton's futuristic i360 which is the world's tallest moving observation tower at 138 metres. There is such a wide range of diverse restaurants, bars and eateries to keep you energised to enjoy the vast array of attractions in this beautiful coastal city.
