Rustington Museum sits in the Samuel Wickens Centre in the heart of Rustington village, telling the story of the local area through changing exhibitions, a family trail, an interactive street exploration feature and an oral history hub where you can listen to memories from the past. There's also a handling collection of real and replica items that schools and groups can borrow, and a Local Studies area with books, maps and postcards for researchers. It's a relaxed, free-to-enter stop suited to families, local history enthusiasts and school groups. Angmering station is 0.9 miles away and Littlehampton beach 1.6 miles away, with 51 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays if you fancy making a longer visit of it.
