Sightseeing
You can walk free in the park from a secret entrance we know and count the deer - or book a car park space and enjoy the house as well. Unusually the house is in the town of Petworth which is worth a visit in its own right with lovely antique Shops and eateries.

Excellent small museum with shop and cafe area. Rucksacks for kids with more things to discover and lovely gardens with a glass sided beehive to observe. Views across the countryside and NT land with footpaths. They offer workshops, talks and holiday activities with local artists sometimes in residence and showing work. No charge but a donation is very welcome.

Food scene
A friendly, cosy local pub with great food. Not cheap but you get what you pay for. Will take you 10 minutes walk at a slow amble with a short cut through the graveyard from our road to the prettiest part of the village with village green and cricket pitch. Worth booking ahead at the weekends to avoid disappointment. Dog friendly of course.
