Just under 30 miles south of Surrey, towards the UK's southern coast, lies another gem in the journey through "tropical England." With a population of just over 3,000, Petworth in West Sussex might be small, but that hasn’t stopped the townsfolk from turning the parish into a place of culture.

For celebrities seeking a more secluded retirement spot, Petworth fits the bill perfectly. With its charming cobblestone streets and lush meadows reminiscent of a Thomas Hardy novel, it's no wonder at least one celebrity has chosen to retire in this market town nestled in the heart of the South Downs National Park: Dame Maggie Smith.
