You start the day leaving London behind: glass and stone give way to a low green horizon, the coach hums, and the South Downs roll forward like a slow-moving ocean. Chalk ridges rise and fall, the air tastes faintly of cut grass and distant salt as your guide teases out local stories — smugglers, racing cars at Goodwood, and the Norman lords of Arundel.
