South Downs National Park
On 31st March 2010 the South Downs became Britain's newest National Park and the 10th to be designated in England. It's over 1600km sq and stretches 100 miles from the edge of Winchester to Beachy Head. It's a great place to visit, explore and stay. It has coast and countryside and the lovely cities of Brighton, Chichester and Winchester nearby. The headquarters of the Park will be in Midhurst and other good towns are Petersfield and Lewes. Why not invest in a home here?
