• The photograph was taken from the top of the South Downs - known as Devil's Dyke.
• Looking down one can see in the forefront the lane which links the hamlets of POYNINGS - FULKING- EDBURTON
• In the centre of Fulking the old sign post reads BRIGHTON 9 miles but in reality the city has spread to the top of nearby Downland and the city boundary is less than 4 miles from the ground.
• However the countryside surrounding the three hamlets has hardly changed and driving along the lane only the motor car intrudes upon a scene little changed throughout time.
• The search for accommodation is thus very difficult in close proximity to the ground.
• The following will take you to multimap link to see the position of Fulking and the second link will pan out showing places within a five mile radius.
• If one clicks on the Hotels available in this area the majority will be found in Brighton.
• There is no problem finding accommodation in the City but we wish to encourage our visitors staying in the rural surrounds.
• There are five hotels within 6 miles of the ground. These hotels will not entail travelling in traffic.
• Tottington manor is 2 miles from the ground- the hotel has 6 rooms and a good quality restaurant. It stands alone directly under the Downs. One can find references to the hotel on tourist guide sites however the link will take you to the Home Page of a website in preparation. From the single page one can obtain a telephone number and e-mail address.
• Wickwoods Country Club - the Country Club and Hotel offers accommodation in 6 rooms. Membership facilities may be used with a temporary pass-about 3 miles from the ground.

• The Travel Lodge, Hickstead is nearly 6 miles from the ground. Sitting next to the A23 this hotel is probably more suited to those seeking overnight accommodation and moving on after breakfast the next morning. It is listed here as it does offer savings.
