Worthing (England)

...people about this town. Worthing is the nearest town to where I live, I work in Worthing, shop in Worthing, swim at Worthing, have been to the theatre in Worthing and generally visit Worthing several days a week, so thought a review about the town would come easy. Wrong! There is a lot I don't know about the town so after a little research I now know more about Worthing than I did. I didn't know that Worthing is the largest town in West Sussex ...
...I did know. Worthing used only to be a sort of suburb of Broadwater which was the main town, you used to be able to walk through unmade up roads and spend a day at the sea, this would have been nearly a hundred years ago now and was told to me by a very old man I used to visit when I worked in the community. Where is it and how to get there? It is about 60 miles south of London, and ten miles west of Brighton, 8 miles from Arundel with it's famous ...

Review of Worthing (England)

...anyone doesn’t know where abouts Worthing is or haven’t really heard of it. Worthing is in West Sussex, about 10 miles west of Brighton and is about 60 miles away from London. The quickest route is usually the A27 too get here. For an alternative route, take the A259 coast road. Having some family here, I spent a lot of time here on holidays. I remember having to travel down as a kid, and not being the greatest car traveller, I was always car sick. ...

Review of Worthing (England)

People do visit Worthing on holidays, and I always wonder why they don't spend a bit more money and stay in Brighton, which is much better and only 15 miles down the road. Shopping is awful, and unless you intend to buy very basic things, I always find there are never the things I am after, and that I need to go over to Brighton. There is no diversity. The nightlife is your run-of-the-mill pub chains and commercial clubs. The liquid lounge occasionaly ...
...of guest houses in East Worthing by the sea, and some in Central Worthing. From growing up here, I feel there has been very little provision for young people, and I spent most of my youth bored witless. The council do seem to be waking-up to this, and there is now at least a good skate park in Homefield Park that is always busy. It is a shame that many of Worthings residents are opposed to initiatives such as this, the cycle lane along the promanade ...

Review of Worthing (England)

I last visited Worthing in 2001, that was until my recent visit in August 2008. I am happy to say that there is now, seven years later, a much improved Worthing. The rebuilding and general smartening up of the sea front buildings and hotels has removed that impression of a town that was dying. The feeling of a town "on the up" comes across when strolling around the streets, the gardens are still beautifully kept, there is a large variety of performers that appear at the Pier Pavilion, I saw the Glen Miller Orchestra and wished that I could stay to see many of the future shows. Well done Worthing. Keep it up. I will return. And thanks to "The Moorings" for the warm welcome. ...
