Everything Else

If the weather is good and you are staying for a week or so this place is a great place to spend an afternoon and get some lunch. It is a traditional country pub where you can hire boats and row along a very scenic river. Very relaxing. Go mid-week though as at weekends it can get very busy.

During the First World War injured Indian soldiers were hospitalised in the Royal Pavilion, Dome and Corn Exchange. The Royal Pavilion was the first Indian hospital to open in Brighton. The Hindus and Sikhs who died were cremated on the Downs and, in 1921, the Chattri memorial was constructed on the cremation site. Immediately to the south of the Chattri is Chattri Down Site of Nature Conservation Importance (SNCI), most of which is open access land. Chattri Down supports a species-rich chalk grassland habitat and is in the South Downs National Park. The views are spectacular and is a peaceful location to take a picnic to and enjoy the countryside.
