## Description

Bramber is well known for its ruined Norman Castle and spectacular earthworks. It is a small village built upon a natural causeway which runs from the Castle to the river. Local shops are just across the River Adur, and Steyning with good shops and schools is about a mile away. A by-pass has largely removed through traffic and Yew Tree Cottage is in the Conservation Area.

The village lies at the foot of the South Downs National Park about five miles from the coast at Shoreham-by-Sea (main line railway station to London Victoria) and eight miles from Worthing. Brighton is about 11 miles and Horsham 14, and Gatwick Airport can normally be reached in about 40 minutes by car.
