Slindon is a small, picture‑perfect village in the district of Arun, West Sussex, England, set on the northern edge of the South Downs. It nestles beneath Slindon Down amid chalk downland and ancient woodland, so the lanes, flint cottages and thatched roofs sit in a landscape much used by walkers and riders.

The village has a long history reflected in its medieval church and traditional village green, and it punches above its weight culturally - formerly home to a celebrated 18th‑century cricket team and today sustaining a tight‑knit community with local pubs, small farms and seasonal events. The local economy is largely rural and tourism‑friendly, with visitors drawn by the scenery, historic buildings and well‑managed countryside nearby.
