Sussex

Sussex is a historic Southern maritime county of England, fronts the English Channel between Hampshire (West) and Kent (East), with Surrey on its northern border. It is traversed East and West by the South Downs, which afford splendid pasturage for half a million sheep, and terminates in Beachy Head. In the North lies the wide, fertile, and richly-wooded plain of the Weald. Chief rivers are the Arun, Adur, Ouse, and Rother, of no great size. It is a fine agricultural county, more than two-thirds of its area being under cultivation. It was the scene of Cæsar's landing (55 BC), of Aella's, the leader of the South Saxons (whence the name Sussex), and of William the Conqueror's (1066). Throughout the country are interesting antiquities. Brighton and Lewes are chief towns.
