There are engrossing di...
Worthing’s fine Victorian pier is almost 300 metres long and dates to 1862. Like all English piers, this one has suffered calamities over the years like storm damage, but, unlike most, it has retained its historic pavilions. The 650-seater Pavilion Theatre is Worthing’s main venue for musicals, plays, stand-up comedians and touring bands. From ther...
The botanist and horticulturalist Sir Frederick Stern established this spellbinding garden at a former chalk quarry in 1909. Embedded in downland with vistas of the Channel, the quarry had almost no soil and unfavourable planting conditions. But Steyn toiled for 50 years to show that plants could flourish on chalk. The species he introduced to High...

Maybe the prettiest part is to the east of the pier, for its imposing Georgian and Victorian townhouses around Steyne Gardens and monuments like the Dome Cinema. A bit further along are the East Beach studios, where pavilions on the p...

Up here you can make out Portsmouth’s Spinnaker Tower, Beachy Head near Eastbourn...
In the Worthing borough, Tarring is a suburb a mile or so west of the town centre, and much older than Worthing proper. The church and Archbishop’s Palace here are from the 13th-century, and the houses along the meandering high street go back further than their Victorian and Georgian facades suggest. The high street is now mostly residential, and a...
Also worthwhile in Tarring is the Medieval parish church, with a spire that can be spotted a long way off. St Andrew’s was founded in the 11th century, while most of its surviving stonework is Early English Gothic from the 13th century and its Perpendicular tower and chancel were reconstructed in the 15th century. Worthing was rife with smuggling i...
A dazzling 20th-century monument, the Connaught Theatre off Chapel Road has a curving facade in the Streamline Moderne style of the 1930s.

As a repertory theatre the Connaught helped introduce some of the count...
Dating to 1911, the Edwardian Dome Cinema is one of England’s oldest operating cinemas. This neo-Baroque building on the beach was commissioned by the Swiss impresario Carl Adolf Seebad.
