BICYCLING IN ENGLAND.
Delightful Rides TO Charming LiitIehampton
Bognor and Chichester.

While staying at iittlehanpton In the
spring of this year my principal amtls.-
ment was cycling. and visited nearly all
the places OF interest which were within
easy riding distance LittIehampton II n
charming little place and n perfect para
disc for children. The beach h firm
white sand and between the houses and
the town Is a large open spac" or green
which Is very unusual at "A seaside place.
The river Arun joins the sea at the
western side Of the town. and across IL
on the other side are the golf links aud
the sand hills. and an old fort which Is
OF no use except to put the golfers into
passion when a bail happens 10 go inside
IT. for IL IS then lost houe in goliing
language. This side of the beach. to my
mind. * far preferable to the other. be-
cause as there is only ferry across the
river comparatively few people go there.
and so one can have II all to oneself.
The whole town OF Littlehampton. belongs
To the Duke of Norfolk. and as he dis
courages the building of cheap villas, it
will. | hope. long remain the quiet. un-
sophisticated little place II Is now.
Littlehampton Is a very good head
quarters for the cyclist FOR there are
many interesting places which can be
easily reached. and the roads are all
good. About ton miles west OF Little
hampton is Bognor, a very quiet. old
fashioned place which has. nevertheies
a sort of aristocratiC air about 1t. IL was
founded more than a century ago by Sir
Richard Botham, rich London trades
