The Halfway Bridge

Directions Website

The Halfway Bridge Restaurant & luxury accommodation in the heart of the glorious South Downs National Park.

Set in the heart of the glorious South Downs National Park the 250 year old Halfway Bridge is flanked by two historic market towns: Midhurst, home to the Cowdray Estate, Cowdray Ruins and International polo, and Petworth, the antique centre of southern England with its famous country house and deer park. A charming 17th century coaching inn, the informal but eminently stylish Halfway Bridge has been recently renovated to a superior standard. Whether you seek a cosy base from which to explore the area's many charms or the kind of relaxed luxury that lends itself to romance or respite, be assured you'll find it here.

Lose yourself under a canopy of 4,000 stars this Dark Skies season 🌌

We are situated near Black Down, the highest point in the South Downs National Park and a prime West Sussex spot where you can catch views of the Milky Way and thousands of twinkling stars on a clear night.

Spend your evening gazing at the sky, then return to warmth, comfort, and good food with us.
