Penhurst is a very small, rural civil parish in the district of Rother, in East Sussex. Set in the rolling, hedged farmland and pockets of ancient woodland typical of the High Weald, it feels quietly removed from urban centres: the settlement is dispersed around farms, a handful of cottages and a small historic church rather than a defined village centre.
Historically the area has medieval roots and the landscape still shows old field patterns and lanes; economically it remains largely agricultural with much local life oriented around neighbouring towns for services and work. Socially the community is tiny and close-knit, with conservation-minded residents and a quiet, countryside character that attracts walkers and those seeking a rural way of life.
