Durfold Wood is a small, wooded settlement in the district of Chichester, West Sussex, England, sitting close to the Surrey border amid mixed woodland, small farms and riding country. It feels rural and quite quiet, popular with walkers and wildlife-watchers for its tracks and secluded glades rather than as a busy visitor destination.
Socially and economically it functions largely as a residential and agricultural locale, with many residents commuting to nearby towns for work while local life revolves around country pursuits, smallholdings and occasional community events. Historically the area reflects the pattern of estate and forestry land-use common in the Weald and lowlying South Downs fringe, so the settlement has a distinct countryside character rather than a built-up village core.
