Getting to Dalesdown

Dalesdown is situated about 6 miles south of Horsham, and about 8 miles north of Worthing.

Driving..

Please be aware that in common with may rural locations, Sat Nav can be misleading and may not bring you direct to Dalesdown.

Leave the A24 at the Old Barn Nursery (near Dial Post) along the small road signposted Ashurst. After several hundred yards you will pass the Honeybridge Caravan Park. Keep left at this point and continue for nearly 1.5 miles until you reach a single track lane on the left, where you will see a Dalesdown advertising board. Drive up the lane for about half a mile to find Dalesdown on the right.

Please park in one of our car parks. Parking on the lane is not permitted in order to maintain access for agricultural vehicles.

Coaches

Honeybridge Lane runs from the A24 to the village of Ashurst. It is essential that coaches arrive and leave via the A24. The section of road between Dalesdown and Ashurst is fine for cars, but not passable for coaches or long vehicles.

Public Transport..

Getting to Dalesdown using public transport is a challenge! The nearest bus stop is nearly two miles from the centre, so we recommend travelling here by car or pre-arranged transport.

Bus.... The 23 Bus runs from Horsham to Worthing, following the A24 and visiting various villages along the way. The nearest bus stops are close to the Old Barn Nursery. From there, you need to access the road which leaves the A24 at the Old Barn (signposted Ashurst). Following this road for about 1.5 miles will bring you to a small lane on the left, where you will see a Dalesdown advertising board. Walk up the lane for about half a mile to find Dalesdown on the right. (If travelling by bus, the nearest local landmark (which all the drivers will know) is the Old Barn Nursery.)

Train..

The nearest train stations are Horsham (access to Gatwick airport and London) or Worthing (access towards Chichester and Brighton). Cabs are readily available from both stations during day time, but it is advisable to pre-book for busy periods or late arrivals. If you are planning arriving by cab, it is advisable to note the instructions regarding 'driving' above and make them available to your driver.
