Buses: Get on Board

Brighton & Hove Buses
the only way to travel
This week: Steyning

You may not realise it but there are all sorts of interesting and unusual places to visit on the Brighton & Hove bus network – stretching out to Eastbourne, the South Downs, and Steyning to name but a few.

Steyning
Steyning, on Brighton Route 2, is a beautiful Sussex town. In medieval times it was a busy port on the Adur, but trade fell away when the river silted up. The legacy is a town with plenty of well preserved Tudor buildings. The town has various independent shops if you’re looking for something a bit different, and coffee shops. Have a look around Cobblestone Walk shops, a small arcade in one of Steyning’s oldest buildings – it’s just off the High Street next to the Clock House. There is also a farmers’ market on the first Saturday of every month, and the Steyning farmers’ market won the Sussex Food and Drink Awards BEST Farmers Market 2015. 094
For the more adventurous and those with a good map, the iron age hill forts of Cissbury Ring and Chanctonbury Ring are not too far away, and can be accessed by public footpaths. The Monarch’s Way, Downs Link and South Downs Way pass by Steyning too.
Also on Route 2 and quite close by is the village of Bramber with its ruined castle, a pretty place to stroll around.
