LOCATION: Graffham sits in the heart of the South Downs National Park approximately 5 miles south of Petworth and within 6 miles of Midhurst, some 15 miles north of Chichester. The village has its own thriving village shop, two local pubs, historic church, primary school and the reputable Seafood College is very close by. The area has many footpaths and bridleways on and around the South Downs for walking and riding. The towns of Midhurst and Petworth are close by and provide for most everyday needs, whilst Guildford in Surrey and the Cathedral city of Chichester, both with renowned Theatres, are within easy reach and have more extensive shopping and leisure facilities. The A3 provides fast access to London, the motorway network, Gatwick, Heathrow and Southampton airports, whilst the mainline station at Haslemere provides a fast service to London Waterloo. Midhurst and the surrounding area have much to offer with Polo at Cowdray Park, racing at Goodwood and Fontwell, golf at Cowdray Park, motor racing at the Goodwood circuit and sailing out of Chichester Harbour and other centres along the South Coast.
