Sterns was a nightclub located at Highdown Towers on Highdown Hill in Worthing, West Sussex. It was situated off the A259 road just north of Ferring on the South Downs. It became known as a major centre of UK rave culture in the south of England during the late 1980s and early 1990s. It was a rare example of an early UK club boasting 4 separate rooms with DJs playing house, breakbeat hardcore, jungle music, techno, progressive house and hard house.Although Sterns had played such music before and was a forerunner in underground parties, the most famous club nights were started in 1991 by a promoter named In-ter-dance run by the late Mensa. Such was the club nights' reputation that it was credited by a number of artists on their record sleeves, was one of the most well known Rave/House & Hardcore clubs in Europe and was regularly visited by clubbers from all over the UK.

Highdown Gardens are a unique chalk garden set in the South Downs National Park on the western edge of the town of Worthing, close to the village of Ferring and the National Trust archaeological site Highdown Hill, in West Sussex, England. Overlooking the sea from the South Downs, they contain a collection of rare plants and trees, collectively a national collection. The gardens are managed and maintained by Worthing Borough Council with free admission and relies on donations to maintain its collection for all to enjoy now and for the generations to come. Created from a chalk quarry where there was little soil and unfavourable conditions for plant growth, the Chalk Garden at Highdown is the achievement of Sir Frederick Stern (1884–1967) and his wife, who purchased the 8.52 acres (3.45 ha) in 1909 and worked for 50 years to show that plants would grow on chalk.The gardens were created during a period when expeditions were going to China and the Himalayas collecting rare and interesting plants. Many of the original plants from the early collections are in the garden today, particularly plants collected by Reginald Farrer and Ernest Henry Wilson. After the death of Sir Frederick in 1967, aged 83, Lady Stern carried out his wishes and left the gardens in trust to Worthing Borough Council in 1968. Over the years historians such as Chris Hare and more recently Hamish MacGillivray from ACME Museum services have enabled the establishment of a clear timeline. West Sussex record Office were also instrumental in managing and archiving the vast collection of documents revealed through this heritage investigations. National Heritage Lottery Fund: From 2019 to 2021, Highdown has had an uplift, a well deserved improvement to celebrate the importance of this local treasure. This was made possible thanks to a considerable investment of over £1m, largely financed by the National Heritage Lottery Funds and Worthing Borough Council. The makeover included a set of restored glasshouses, an essential part of the plant heritage programme to preserve and share Highdown National Plant Collection. The gardens and National plant Collection: The gardens are home to a ‘living library’ of rare plants and trees adapted to live on chalk throughout the year. Many of the plants are from the original collection started by keen horticulturist Sir Frederick Stern in 1909. The gardens has a fantastic plant and science heritage and seasonal highlights which visitors are encouraged to discover during their visit in the visitor centre as well as during the guided tour and on the Highdown Gardens website.

St Mary's Church is an Anglican church in the Goring-by-Sea area of the Borough of Worthing, one of seven local government districts in the English county of West Sussex. The late Norman parish church of the ancient village of Goring retains some architectural elements from that period, but Decimus Burton's comprehensive restoration of 1837 has given the church its present Gothic Revival exterior appearance. German artist Hans Feibusch, who worked extensively in the Diocese of Chichester, provided a mural in 1954: it is considered impressive, but caused controversy at the time. English Heritage has listed the church at Grade II* for its architectural and historical importance.

Titnore Wood is an area of ancient woodland to the north-west of Worthing in West Sussex. With neighbouring Goring Wood it forms one of the last remaining blocks of ancient woodland on the West Sussex coastal plain. Since 2006 land in and around the wood has been the site of a proposed major urban extension to the Worthing suburb of West Durrington. The proposed development has prompted environmental protestors to tree-sit within the wood since May 2006. Since then Worthing Borough Council has agreed to a substantial new housing development just to the east of the woods themselves, as an extension of Durrington. This includes a new school, doctors surgery and around 2000 new houses on agricultural land. Titnore wood is a Site of Nature Conservation Interest, as is neighbouring Goring Wood and Highdown Hill. Much of the site lies within the boundaries of the new South Downs National Park.
