Useful Local Information
Midhurst is the ideal base from which to explore the wealth of historic buildings, country houses, splendid gardens, museums, galleries and theatres the area has to offer. For those seeking a little excitement and glamour, Midhurst is famously the home of English polo, an electrifying sport that attracts international players and large crowds throughout the summer months. Visitors can try their hand at a whole host of quintessentially English pursuits offered by the Cowdray Estate, such as golf, fishing and clay pigeon shooting.
Midhurst is surrounded by wonderfully diverse countryside including acres of attractive downland, woodland, wetland and heath perfect for more active pastimes such as walking, cycling and horse-riding. The South Downs Way is one of England’s finest National Trails, with views spanning 40 miles in every direction.
