We're Going on a Ghost Hunt Halloween trail at Petworth
Petworth's take on the We're Going on a Ghost Hunt books sends young children after the Bunnies of Hoppity Hill to find hidden ghosts. Along the way there is Halloween hoopla, broomstick racing and stepping stones, with a party and sticker at the finish. The route is buggy friendly.

Bignor Roman Villa preserves the remains of a Roman home with world-class mosaic floors, deep in the South Downs National Park. The mosaics, including a striking head of Medusa, are protected under historic cover buildings, and finds include the Bignor gold ring. A tearoom makes it an easy stop on a Downs day out.
