Overview
Worthing is the largest town in West Sussex, perched on the English Channel with the South Downs National Park immediately to the north. Nicknamed 'Sunny Worthing' for its mild microclimate, the town has undergone regeneration in the 21st century: palm trees line the beach promenade, the Dome Cinema has been restored, and Splash Point has been revitalised.
