There are a good number of them! The M23/A23 does the London-Brighton route, passing Gatwick Airport en route. It connects with the M25 which runs around London and is known to many locals as the Magic Roundabout after the children's programme). The A272 passes in a west-east direction from East Sussex to Hampshire, taking in towns such as Haywards Heath, Billingshurst, Petworth, Midhurst, and smaller villages like Coolham and Cowfold. The A27 also runs in a west-east direction (or vice versa) but it's on the coast, so it picks up Brighton, Arundel, Chichester and then on to Hampshire. And there are tons of other roads as well, some tiny but offering routes into villages, hamlets & small towns. | |
