Opportunities to get involved in a
New Heritage Trail project
The Horsham District has been awarded Heritage Lottery Funding to create a series of local Heritage Trails.
Funding will be used to train volunteers to create a range of trails which would enable communities to explore interesting and important aspects of the District’s heritage.
The Heritage Trail Project aims to create 20 trails: volunteers are being recruited who will be given training aspects relating to historical research, trail design and production of documentation which will be of use to anyone interested in discovering the District's heritage. See our news page for fulll details of how to get involved

How
to act on illicit metal detecting
We
are all very disturbed to hear the news that protected
archaeological sites are still at risk from metal detectorists.
For
those that haven't heard, Sussex police are investigating damage to
Cissbury Ring, the ancient hill-fort on the South Downs near
Worthing.
Disturbance
to the ground suggests digging for items following illicit use of
metal detectors.
If
you suspect that illicit metal detecting is going on in your area or
you would simply like to check that the landowner has given permission, contact
101 and say you want to report ‘illicit metal detecting’ and
state “for the attention of Daryl Holter, Heritage Crime Officer”
(Sussex).
