About the day
West Sussex is officially the sunniest county in the UK! Its famous for the South Downs (a ridge of chalk hills), crossing it from east to west and its picturesque villages and small towns. Its name means 'land or people of the South Saxons'.The places we will be visiting are:
Going-by-Sea
Lying between the sea and the South Down's National Park, Goring-by-Sea boasts 2 miles of pristine pebble and sand beach. The name Goring is said to mean 'people of the wedge-shaped land' and the first community was established in Anglo Saxon times. The English Martyrs Catholic church in the town has a replica of the Sistine Chapel’s ceiling in Rome.Littlehampton
Littlehampton started off as a fishing port and is now a resort with a sandy beach. Between the town’s beaches lies the River Arun. The recent 2023 film 'Wicked Little Letters', was based on the real-life Littlehampton Libels, which it follows an investigation into the anonymous author of numerous crudely insulting letters sent to the residents of the seaside town in the 1920's.Bosham
The site has been inhabited since Roman times, and several important Roman buildings have been found including a possible temple, a small theatre and a mosaic. Bosham is mentioned by name in the Bayeux Tapestry, referring to the 1064 meeting of Harold and King Edward the Confessor. The Holy Trinity Church is a historic building of some note, dating back to the 8th century.Coach seating

About the day
Berkshire is a royal county due to the location of Windsor Castle. It got its name back in the 9th century from 'Bearroc' in old English, which means 'a wood of box trees'. It has been the scene of notable battles in the 10th century and later in the English Civil War in the 17th century.We will be visiting:
Littlecote Roman Villa
Littlecote Roman Villa is an extensive and exceptional villa discovered in the 18th century. The villa was initially built in about 60AD near the site of a Roman guard post covering a crossing of the River Kennet. It was rebuilt and enlarged over the next two centuries, in its heyday it boasted 60 rooms, two thermal baths and a number of mosaic floors and hypocausts. Alot of the mosaic floors are still visable today.Wargrave
The pretty village of Wargrave (derived from 'Weir-Grove') is primarily on the River Thames but also along the confluence of the River Loddon. It has an historic centre, originating in the Tudor period with many listed buildings and two marinas.Cookham
The village of Cookham sits on the River Thames with a history that goes back thousands of years. It has a 12th century church and plenty of 17th & 18th century buildings. It was the home of the famous British painter Sir Stanley Spencer, who called Cookham "a village in heaven".Coach seating
