Ferring is a compact coastal ward in Arun, West Sussex, England, tucked on a shingle shore between Worthing and Littlehampton. It sits beneath the South Downs with the Ferring Rife running through a shallow valley to the sea, giving a mix of beach, grassy cliffs and downland that attracts walkers and birdwatchers. The settlement has a historic core - most visibly St Andrew's Church - that hints at its origins as a small farming and fishing community.
Today the ward is largely residential, popular with commuters, families and retirees, and supported by small shops, cafés and a modest seasonal visitor trade. Local life is quietly active: village clubs, a hall and conservation groups are prominent, often focussing on coastal issues such as erosion and habitat protection that affect the shoreline and surrounding countryside.
