Welcome to Rackham

Rackham is a small village located in the county of West Sussex, England. It is situated on the South Downs, a range of hills that runs parallel to the south coast of England. The village is known for its picturesque countryside, which attracts many visitors throughout the year. The area is also home to a number of historic landmarks, including the Rackham Windmill, which dates back to the 19th century.

One of the main attractions of Rackham is its natural beauty. The village is surrounded by rolling hills and lush green fields, making it an ideal destination for those who enjoy hiking, cycling, or simply taking a leisurely stroll in the countryside. The South Downs National Park, which covers an area of over 1,600 square kilometers, is also located nearby, offering visitors the opportunity to explore some of the most stunning landscapes in the country.

In addition to its natural beauty, Rackham is also home to a number of historic landmarks. The Rackham Windmill, which was built in 1820, is one of the most popular attractions in the area. The windmill is still in working order and visitors can take a tour of the interior to learn more about its history and operation. Other notable landmarks in the area include the St. Mary's Church, which dates back to the 12th century, and the nearby town of Arundel, which is home to a number of historic buildings and museums.

Arundel Estate
Brilliant Walk For Wheelchair Users. The Path Is A Road Therefore Great For Wheelchairs. Public Can Walk Along It Or On The Grass. The Road Is Used But Not Often, Only By People Who Live On The Estate Who Are Obviously Aware. Dogs Can Be Off Lead Until You Reach A Closed Gate Where The Sheep Graze. They Get Moved So Sometimes You Might Not Be Able To Walk As Far With Your Dog However Sheep Are Fenced Off. For People Who Can Walk, You Can Continue In And Walk Down To Swanbourne Lake. The Solid Path Has A Steady Incline But Incredible Views.

Mix Of Public Walkways And Bridle Paths. The Paths Are Very Accessible For Wheelchairs But Better For Powered Chairs. The Carpark Isn't The Best Surface But Once In The Estate Its Much Easier And Some Of It Is Road. There Is Live Stock Around, Vehicles Go Through And You Can Sometimes Hear Gunshots But A Lovely Walk. Dogs Will Get Muddy In Winter And My Dog Found Water/Mud Even During Summer. Some Of It Is Flat And Some Of It Is Hilly.
