The civil parish around Lyminster and Crossbush in the district of Arun, West Sussex, sits a short distance inland from the coast by Littlehampton. The area is characteristically rural, with arable fields, hedgerows and small pockets of woodland, and it enjoys easy access to the rolling downland of the South Downs and the estuarine landscape of the River Arun.
Lyminster itself has a long local history centred on a historic parish church with medieval fabric, while Crossbush is a smaller hamlet of cottages and a village green. Agriculture remains important, but many residents commute to nearby towns or to larger centres such as Chichester and Brighton; community life is focused on the church, village hall and local clubs, and the setting attracts walkers and birdwatchers drawn to both the coast and the downs.
