South Stoke is a small, rural parish in the district of Arun on the coastal plains of West Sussex, England. It retains a quiet, village feel with hedged farmland, narrow lanes and a scattering of traditional flint and brick cottages; the surrounding landscape gives easy access to the rolling hills of the South Downs and the nearby market town of Arundel and the south coast.
The parish has strong agricultural roots but today combines farming with a number of commuters and small local businesses; community life centres on village events, a parish council and local clubs rather than large commercial hubs. Historic touches such as older buildings and lanes hint at a long continuity of settlement, while conservation and countryside access remain important to residents and visitors alike.
