Peverel is a compact ward on the coastal edge of Adur district in West Sussex, England, sitting on the coastal plain between the River Adur and the rising slopes of the South Downs. The area is predominantly residential with a mix of Victorian and post‑war housing, local shops and easy transport links by rail and the A27 corridor that make it a popular choice for commuters to Brighton and Worthing.
The ward’s name reflects local Norman-era associations and the wider maritime and trading history of nearby Shoreham-by-Sea, and today it combines modest local industry, small businesses and community facilities with green spaces and a layered social mix of long-standing families and newer commuters. Local character is shaped by its coastal setting and proximity to countryside, giving a blend of urban convenience and easy access to outdoor recreation.
