Sussex is an historic county of England. (For more information about the ancient counties of the UK, see the historic counties page and the place types page.)

From The Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales, (1870-72):

A maritime county; bounded, on the N, by Surrey and Kent; on the NE and the E, by Kent; on the S, by the English channel; on the W, by Hants.

The scenery of most parts, particularly among the higher grounds, is richly picturesque.

Quotes:
"The landscape was confusing. The narrow gritted lanes were roads now, they'd lost their tricky bends and their high hedges. The Sussex villages had run together into a dribble of brick and cinderblock."
-- Coasting
Jonathan Raban
