## Description

Bramber is known for its Norman castle ruins and spectacular earthworks and for its high proportion of character homes. It is a small village built upon a natural causeway, which runs from the castle to the river with local shops across the bridge in Upper Beeding. A by-pass has largely removed through-traffic and in addition the County Council has undertaken works to slow traffic and generally improve the street scene by landscaping.

Steyning with good shops, banks, Post Office, modern health centre, and primary and secondary schools is about a mile away. Shoreham-by-Sea is four miles where there are large superstores and the main line railway station. Worthing is eight miles and Brighton 11.
