for fine weather on the beach,
the view of the Goring Gap from Highdown,
and the Holm Oaks in the Ilex Avenue.
beyond the A27 and Durrington are the South Downs, High Salvington windmill and the stone-age forts at Highdown and Cissbury. | ||
|
To the West is the village of Ferring, and then the towns of Littlehampton and Bognor, with the Butlins Skyline Pavilion glinting in the sun. |
|
To the East
is Worthing and beyond that the harbour at Shoreham and the resort of Brighton. |
with views, on a good day, to the Isle of Wight (40 miles), Selsey Bill (20 miles), the white cliffs of the Seven Sisters and Beachy Head (30 miles) | ||

The sun always shines Goring has record sunshine each year, and the area is well known for the acres of greenhouses where bedding plants are grown, it seems, for much of southern England.
A green and pleasant place The mile-long Ilex Avenue runs from Goring church to Ferring, glorious, evergreen holm oaks, the finest planting of such trees in England. And from the avenue down to the sea are three more avenues of trees, down Sea Lane Goring, down Sea Lane Ferring, and down The Plantation where only walkers are welcome And to the North is Highdown with gardens, and a short walk to the Saxon Fort on top of the hill, and a cafe for a cuppa before you go home.
Come and sit on the beach
