Petworth is a handsome antiques town dominated by Petworth House and its 700-acre deer park, landscaped by Capability Brown and considered one of his finest achievements. The Serpent Trail winds through the surrounding heathland and woodland, and the South Downs rise just a few miles south.

A handsome and characterful antiques town with one of England’s finest landscaped parks on its doorstep, Petworth makes an excellent walking base combining grand parkland walking with the heathland Serpent Trail and access to the western South Downs.
