Worthing

Living in Worthing

Worthing is a major town in a glorious location on the Sunny Sussex coast. With a history dating back to well before Roman times, Worthing became the archetypal Victorian seaside resort when people began to take notice of its winning combination of sunshine, sea, spectacular countryside and relatively easy access from London.

Still popular with holidaymakers and day-trippers alike, Worthing is a great place to visit and a good place to live with all the amenities you would expect of a large town of nearly 100,000 people.

Whether you're planning a visit to Worthing or live here, Worthing.net will help you get a bit more out of Worthing by telling you more about the life and times of the town.

The impressive beach is undoubtedly still the star attraction at Worthing. It stretches for 10 miles, all the way from Shoreham to Littlehampton.

Only a small settlement of around 2,000 people in 1800, Worthing has expanded right up to the South Downs which provide the impressive backdrop to the town. Here you can find the pioneering Highdown Gardens (below), the Miller's Tomb, High Salvington Mill (left) and the amazing complex of Neolithic mines and enclosures of Cissbury.

Worthing itself is full of attractions, from its art galleries and top class museum to nightclubs and other nightlife.
