...now the largest in West Sussex. There have been local discoveries such as Bronze Age tools, metal, coins and pottery from the Iron Age, Roman coins, tiles and pottery were also discovered in parts of the town.

The Beach
A mixture of sand and pebbles which runs along the promenade. You will find a lot of people having a stroll along the seafront, taking in all the views and sea air. The beach is perfect for water sports, such as wind-surfing and sailing, or if you prefer then you can just relax and sunbathe. You can always see people fishing on the beach...

Although it operates mostly steam trains, it does also on occasion run diesel trains often used by the locals going into Keighley! As such there is a good concession rate if you do live within a certain postcode area, so it is worth checking up on.
However, we visited as tourists, using Oxenhope as our destination station (you can have a round trip using any one of the main stations).
