Love the Windmill Cinema. Great cosy cinema with big screen. Seats aren't the comfyest but ok. Staff friendly, clean cinema, small and neat. Reasonable priced tickets. Knocks spots off the big chain cinemas which i try to avoid. When there are 2 local cinemas, inc Bognor, why go elsewhere?! Back again on Saturday, look forward to my film fix

Mostly local artists, with a great range of prices, and the exhibitions change monthly... Not intimidating at all to visit. Delicious locally made cakes, excellent Lavazza coffee, local tea from Hoogly and, for those with a sweet tooth, a Supersonic Hot Chocolate! Well worth a visit! Mike worked really hard during the pandemic with regular video tours of the gallery, lockdown deliveries and competitions, development of a website and regular social media updates. This is one local business that deserves to succeed.

5. Mewsbrook Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 172 reviews
Mewsbrook Park is just a minute’s walk from the beach in the seaside resort of Littlehampton, West Sussex. It covers approximately four hectares and boasts a number of attractions including boating lake, miniature railway, café, original art deco shelters and children’s play area. Opened in 1939, the Mewsbrook sets a high horticultural bench mark for public parks. Large shrub and long herbaceous borders together with bee and butterfly gardens provide colour and interest throughout the year. The lake serves as an excellent local amenity, and is regularly used by visitors for boating. The lake and island are also a haven for wildlife. Starting in 2017 a new leisure centre is to be built, accommodating a proportion of Ruby Gardens. A re landscaped Ruby Gardens is anticipated to open in 2018 with focus on conservation. There is a positive sense of community in the park, supported by the Friends of Mewsbrook Park, Mewsbrook Park Café and Boat Hire and Littlehampton Miniature Railway.

This is a lovely little park with a miniature railway, playpark, boating lake, lovely cafe, public facilities, beautiful garden areas, small woodland area and easily accessible walk around the lake. The air smells amazing in summer as the lavender blooms. There is a family of swans who grace the pond and bring much joy to locals. It is also right by the beach so there is a wealth of beauty and nature to enjoy.

Great for all ages and there is a disabled carriage. I'm told that they will in the future have a steam engine. The oldest twelve and a quarter gauge railway in the country - fun for the whole family (even the big kids amoungst us!).
7. West Beach Local Nature Reserve

Reviewed By VivienneEsther
If you want a lovely walk on a quiet beach then this is it. Away from the busy beach on the other side of the river Arun, this beach is great for walking with your dog and no restrictions through the summer. The road to the beach is single track so care must be taken and you pay to park. There are not many parking spaces. Take a flask as there are no amenities once the season has ended Definitely a place to gather your thoughts or to walk with friends and family.

The weather will draw the crowds to this glorious sandy beach. Low tide reveals a massive amount of sand. Crabbing off the river wall, fish and chips, ice cream and a new ferris wheel. Oh, the delights of at day at the seaside. Parking is a nightmare but wharf lane is free and only a short walk via the bridge over the river Arun. Come and enjoy, like it used to be.
