West Sussex, County administration district in South East England
West Sussex spans 1,991 square kilometers between the English Channel and Surrey, featuring the South Downs chalk hills and extensive coastal plains.
The region transformed from an independent Saxon kingdom in 477 CE to a part of Wessex by 827 CE, maintaining its administrative structure through six rapes.
The Sussex Day celebrations on June 16 bring together local communities through traditional music, food markets, and historical reenactments across the county.
The county contains seven administrative districts, with Chichester serving as the administrative center and Crawley housing the major Gatwick Airport transportation hub.
The Fishbourne Roman Palace near Chichester presents the largest collection of in-situ Roman mosaic floors in Britain, dating from the first century CE.
