Madehurst is a very small, quiet village and civil parish in the Arun district of West Sussex, England, set on the scarp of the South Downs overlooking the Arun valley. The surrounding chalk downland, lanes and hedgerows fall within or alongside the South Downs National Park, making the area popular with walkers and riders for its footpaths and wide rural views.
Historically agricultural, with a handful of farms and traditional cottages, Madehurst remains a small, close‑knit community with limited local services, so residents look to nearby market towns for shops and amenities. Its tranquillity, rural architecture and strong connection to the surrounding downland give it a distinctly pastoral character that attracts countryside enthusiasts and those seeking a slower pace of life.
