A Worthy Walk to Worthing

We have been trying to take advantage of the great late summer weather by getting out as much as possible before our pm walks with the dogs. One day we did an easy 6 mile walk to Worthing down the coast to the east from Rustington (opposite direction from Littlehampton). It is amazing to us how connected these communities are and how easy it is to walk along the coast either on footpaths on lawns, narrower paved paths, or large promenades. It made the walk feel like a nice, easy stroll, and we only seemed to be out in the country for a small part of it. We always seemed to have company along the way with lots of people out for their walk or exercising their dogs.

Worthing is a larger town and borough of about 100,000. It’s only 10 miles west of Brighton. As with many seaside towns, it has a pier and rides. After we arrived, we had a nice walkabout around town before catching a bus back to Rustington.

Lovely flowers — another thing I love about the UK!

The bus ride home was so easy. The Coastliner bus runs every 10 minutes and goes from Brighton to Littlehampton. It’s a double decker, so we did the touristy thing and rode in the front seats up on top. The following are some pics from the ride home.
