Me and Nigel stumbled on this amazing map by the University of Chichester. Check it out!

Who lived where?


Want to find out where #WilliamBlake lived, or take a look around #NielGaiman's local village where Caroline was set? This map tells you who lived where.

Walks


The map has links to more than 60 local #NationalTrails, so get your hiking boots on and enjoy some #SussexWalks.


Calendar


If all this wasn't enough, it also has a calendar that lists #localtraditions of #Sussex, both living and past. Who else thinks we should bring back #OakAppleDay in #Otterbourne where we can whip children with nettles if they're not wearing an Oak Apple or Twig?!


A massive thank you to The Sussex Centre for Folklore, Fairy Tales and Fantasy at the University of Chichester for this brilliant interactive map!


If you used the map to go exploring we would love to hear about your adventures! Please share your stories below or PM us :-)
