The once County of Sussex can be located on the South Coast of England  but is now divided into two separate counties, one being East Sussex and  the other West Sussex.  Bounded by the Counties of Hampshire, Kent and  Surrey, 'Sussex' fronts the English Channel which seperates the United  Kingdom from mainland Europe.  The county town of West Sussex is Chichester and is famed for its rich  heritage of historic buildings and picturesque countryside.  The nearby  town of Rye has delightful winding cobbled streets and old timber framed  buildings and is regarded by many as the prettiest town in England.   Hastings is an old fishing town and offers all the traditional  amusements of the seaside, but retains much of the character from its  colourful past.  Rich in history, Hastings is famous worldwide for the  'Battle of Hastings' in 1066 between the invading Normans and the  defending Saxons, the actual battle itself took place 6 miles inland  from the town of Hastings, at a smaller town aptly named 'Battle' which  is well worth a visit.
