Step back in time and uncover the rich history of Graylingwell Park, once home to the West Sussex County
We are delighted to welcome Greg Slay back for our Heritage Walks in 2025, where his deep knowledge and passion bring Graylingwell’s remarkable past to life.

From the architecture to the stories of the people who lived and worked here, every detail brings this heritage site to life.
Your journey concludes back at The Chapel Café, where you can relax with a warm drink and a delicious treat, reflecting on the remarkable history you’ve just explored.
