Get active….

There’s an indoor climbing wall at Midhurst Rother College that’s open to the public and suitable for all levels from beginner to advanced.

Yoga, Pilates and meditation classes are also available at Cowdray Hall – a range of beautiful rooms away from the bustle of busy daily lives.

A little luxury

Alternatively, you could see bad weather as the perfect excuse to just be good to yourself – with a beauty treatment or a spa day at one of the hotels such as The Spread Eagle Hotel & Spa or Park House & Spa.

Or try sampling some of the outstanding local wine with a tasting at Upperton Vineyard and Stopham Estate.

Get out and about….

Discover the challenge of clay pigeon shooting with lessons suitable for the novice or accomplished shot (all equipment provided).

Experience the beauty of the River Rother while fly fishing – day tickets are available for visitors (from the Post Office in Midhurst and Easebourne Stores) and lessons can be arranged with Cowdray Park’s resident ghillie.

Walk, cycle, ride….

Alternatively walk the South Downs Way or discover the freedom and exhilaration of exploring the area by bicycle or on horseback. You could even try your hand at a spot of hot-air ballooning.
