About Shoreham and Worthing: the area guide

West of Hove, the coast runs to Shoreham-by-Sea, with its harbour and the historic Brighton City Airport, and on to Worthing. Above them, the South Downs rise to Chanctonbury Ring.

Shoreham

Brighton City Airport, the oldest licensed aerodrome in the UK in its own words, with its 1936 terminal and sightseeing flights.

Worthing

Worthing has two newcomers in the 2026 MICHELIN Guide, Tern and BAUJI.

Take the West Coastway train from Brighton or Hove.

The Downs above
