Tarring
One of Worthing’s most historic areas, Tarring, centres around it’s ancient Parish Church and High Street. Tarring High Street is a must for lovers of historic architecture. The street retains a number of buildings dating back to the 13th century and is today home to a number of small independents including a tea room and three pubs.
This leafy green neighbourhood is well serviced for transport links, shops and sports facilities and is a popular neighbourhood for all ages.
Tarring was famous for its ancient fig garden, which some locals say was grown around 900 years ago. Known for having a warm climate and fertile soils, Tarring used to be a hub for gardening and farming. The fig garden thrived for centuries before most of it was destroyed in the 1950's, and now the remains of the garden are housed in the Grade II listed Bishop's Garth.
