This work serves as both an informative guide and a companion volume to the similarly themed "Wessex," focusing on the county's physical characteristics and its historical significance. Belloc engages in a vivid depiction of the region's landscapes, towns, and the topographical features that shape Sussex's unique personality. The opening of this work lays a foundation for the discussion by outlining the physical geography of Sussex, emphasizing its distinct character shaped by historical and topographical causes. Belloc contrasts Sussex with other English counties, discussing its early settlements, notable rivers, and various terrains such as the coastal plain and the South Downs. He implies that the county's inhabitants historically faced significant barriers due to natural obstacles like the Weald forest, which affected travel and communication, ultimately influencing its cultural and historical development. Through this initial survey, Belloc prepares the reader to appreciate Sussex's rich history and landscape as the narrative unfolds further.
