Article Worthing tour

Walking from the train station to the beach, you walk through the city center, where you can see several historic buildings in a row and taste the calm rhythm of the city. The dominant town hall building with its antique-style columns is unmissable.

Next in line is this brick building with a turret that houses a museum and an art gallery. Although Worthing is a small town, you will find all civic amenities and entertainment here.

Another in a series of these important buildings is this white church, which resembles a Greek temple.

The city is interwoven with picturesque streets with shops of all kinds. The summer atmosphere is completed by colorful flags fluttering in the sea wind.

Along the endless beaches there is a long pedestrian promenade, where in the middle there must be a traditional pier with attractions. On the promenade we find a dominant ferris wheel, which rises to a height above the heads of visitors.

But the local pier is different from what we have met so far in other larger cities in the UK. Here, in contrast to the exuberant attractions full of space in other cities, it is a really peaceful walk with benches, just a few shops at the end. The wall in the middle of the pier is nicely designed, which makes a pleasant shade for sitting and at the same time is interesting in design. It consists of colored slides and between them pictures of historical figures with a hole in the visitor's head. Everyone can take a picture as a sailor, pirate or mermaid.

Loud squeaking of seagulls is an integral part of the seaside towns in the UK. Here, too, we find them, but fortunately in much smaller quantities and intrusions than in larger cities, where people spoiled them by feeding their favorite fish and chips.

The path on the pier leads along its entire length on both sides of the wall with colored slides and at the end of it you will usually find a bunch of boys fishing.

From the pier you also have a great view of the giant ferris wheel, so you can see it in all its size and beauty.

And now, after exploring the city, it's finally time to take a look at why I came here and these are the beaches. The only thing I missed here was the opportunity to rent an umbrella. But this is generally the case on most British beaches, where they sometimes rent sunbeds but do not seek shade. It was possible to hide from the greatest heat on several shelters, which are located every few meters on the promenade, where you will find benches.

The architecture of British seaside houses is mostly full of colorful pastel colors. Here, this street with a view of the sea in rainbow colors conjures a smile on the face of many passers-by.

The beaches stretch as far as the eye can see to the right and left of the pier. Here you will find pebble beaches separated by wooden walls to break the waves. It is better to swim at high tide, because at low tide the sea goes far and you have to wade knee-deep in the shallows on slippery rocks before you can swim. Otherwise the cleanliness was great and the beaches much less crowded than in larger cities.

Interesting buildings with typical British architecture can be found here almost every year. You will find this cute hotel just before the entrance to the train station.
