Storrington,West Sussex

Storrington is a thriving small town in a picturesque setting at the foot of the South Downs, conveniently close to the fast Horsham/Worthing A24 and motorway networks, yet it still retains a village atmosphere. Storrington existed in the Domesday Book. It was for a long time the local market place with tanners and blacksmiths and only in the 20th century did this role fade away. Today there is a mainline station in Pulborough, approximately six miles to the west with regular services to the coast, Gatwick Airport and London Victoria. Storrington has comprehensive shopping facilities, banks, churches of various denominations, two modern doctors’ surgeries, dental practices, opticians, library and a museum. In the immediate area are at least four primary schools, all with excellent reputations and Rydon Community College, a mixed intermediate community school (age range 10-13). Pre-school children and toddlers are also well catered for in the area.

Storrington provides an extremely wide and varied range of social and sporting activities including Chanctonbury Leisure Centre, which has a fitness centre, gym and is the venue for various classes and clubs. There is a Tennis Club open all year round with five floodlit astro turf and five hard courts and a Squash Club with adult and junior coaching. Storrington Sports & Social Club is a members club open to all local residents and facilities include snooker, pool, darts and a licensed bar. Numerous other clubs, charities and associations thrive in the area. Nearby there is gliding at Parham and golf at West Chiltington and Pulborough, together with opportunities for riding and walking on the South Downs. At Parham Park towards Pulborough is a large stately country house with rolling parkland and is open most weekends to visitors. There are many walks along and around the Downs.
