Norton in Arun is a small village in the Arun district of West Sussex, England. Sitting on the fertile coastal plain beside the River Arun, with the South Downs rising a short distance inland, it occupies a quiet spot between the historic town of Arundel and the seaside resort of Littlehampton.
Historically tied to farming and the river economy, the settlement today is largely residential with agricultural surroundings and many residents commuting to nearby towns; local life tends to centre on village amenities and the surrounding countryside, with easy access to estuary habitats and walking routes. Its blend of rural character, coastal proximity and links to larger towns gives Norton in Arun a quietly attractive feel for those seeking a peaceful base on the south coast hinterland.
