Latest revision as of 10:26, 16 May 2023

The southern border of the county is formed by the coastline between Hampshire and Kent with its northern border adjoining Surrey. It is divided for local government into West Sussex and East Sussex and the City of Brighton and Hove.

Mainly still a rural county apart from the coastal strip, there are few large towns. In the past fishing was an important industry and there are still working harbours at Rye, Hastings, Newhaven and Shoreham. The county now relies heavily on the tourist industry, both by the sea and inland where tourists can explore the South Downs.

Sussex was the home of the Greenwich Royal Observatory at Herstmonceux until 1998. There are castles at Hastings, Lewes, Pevensey and Bodiam while the site of the Battle of Hastings is to be found at Senlac Hill near the town of Battle. There is a Roman Villa in Fishbourne. The Weald and Downland Museum is in Singleton.

The seat of the Duke of Norfolk is in Sussex at Arundel Castle. Rudyard Kipling lived in a Jacobean ironmaster's house, Bateman's, near Burwash in Sussex. The county has a song dedicated to it called "Sussex by the Sea" written in 1907 by William Ward-Hicks.
