Moods of Sussex - Hardcover
Sussex is possibly the best known of all English seaside counties, a warm, mellow land of harmonious contrasts and inexhaustible richness in both its heritage and physical geography. Sussex has always looked to the sea and its string of coastal resorts have now, in a sense, become a national institution. The soft, gentle expanse and wide views of Kipling's 'whalebacked' South Downs have become a defining image of the English countryside, whilst by contrast the ancient Wealden woodlands still retain their mystery from the past. Many would say that Sussex has it all - the busy, sunny promenades and elegant terraces of Brighton and Eastbourne; the drama of the white cliffs of the Seven Sisters; the dusty, homely flint Downland villages and the wild Ashdown Forest. There is evidence of Neolithic Man at Cissbury, the Romans at Fishbourne and Bignor, the Saxon church masterpieces at Sompting and Worth and, of course, Battle associated with the single date in English history when the fate of the a nation was decided, 1066. From shafts of sunlight on a Downland hillside to the 'kiss-me-quick' of a summer's afternoon on the 'prom', many of the county's moods have been captured here.Accompanied by a degree of historical text, this is a book to appeal to both residents and visitors alike - a visual feast of some of the many moods of a much loved county, Sussex by the Sea.
