just off the path are in ruins of Southwick Priory

Good downhill country road starting from Nelson’s Monument lane

This wonderful little church sits in an utterly tranquil setting several miles south of the village it primarily serves. Of Saxon origin and with many 13th-century features, St. Nicholas' church has a simple design. Inside, it's easy to imagine you've wandered back in time hundreds of years.

The Royal Military Police Museum is a fascinating archive of military history and an absolute treasure trove for any historian. One housed in Chichester, it now lies with the private Southwick Park military police training centre. The museum has free entry but visits must be booked ahead so that you can enter the grounds.

On first impressions, Southwick might look like any other rural English village. There's a lot more to this place than it seems at first glance though. The entire village is under the ownership of Southwick Estate, originally formed hundreds of years ago. A grand manor, Southwick House, lies just to the east of the village and was first built in the early 19th century although underwent major renovation after a fire. The house and much of the estate was requisitioned by the military during the Second World War. Today the house and Southwick Park, where it lies, is used by the Defence School of Policing and Guarding – the training centre for police in the British Armed Services. As you explore the village, note than most of the houses have red doors: a requirement in the tenancy agreements.

Shop and cafe. Friendly staff and good food and drink. Nice garden or tables indoors too.

A good selection of English ales brewed on site, and lots of other local beers and spitits for sale. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff too.
