"Discover the rich history and beauty of Plumpton, a charming village nestled in the heart of Sussex, England. With its picturesque setting amidst the South Downs, Plumpton (BN7 3 Map) has been a popular destination for centuries, as evidenced by this engraving of "A Days Coursing on the Downs at Plumpton." The village's connection to horse racing is evident in the modern-day Plumpton Racecourse (BN7 3 Map), where the community gathers to enjoy the thrill of the sport. Step back in time to the 1930s, when Plumpton played a vital role in the war effort. The Women's Land Army (WLAs) trained hard at local farms, including those in Plumpton (BN7 3 Map), South Northamptonshire (NN12 8 Map), and Eden (CA11 9 Map). These trainee milkmaids (pictured) and land girls worked tirelessly to ensure the country's food supply remained steady during wartime. Today, Plumpton continues to be a vibrant and historic community, offering visitors a glimpse into the past while embracing the present. Whether you're exploring the rolling hills of the South Downs or delving into the village's rich history, there's always something new to discover in Plumpton."
