Fittleworth is a small, picture-postcard village in the district of Chichester, West Sussex, England, set on a bend of the River Rother and tucked close to Petworth and Pulborough at the edge of the South Downs National Park. The village is noted for its historic stone bridge and a scatter of timber‑framed and flint cottages, giving it a conserved, rural character that favours walkers and anglers as much as residents.

Historically a milling and coaching settlement, Fittleworth today combines small-scale agriculture with a handful of local businesses, artisan workshops and village amenities; it also benefits from steady visitor interest because of nearby attractions and its scenic setting. Community life remains active with village events and local clubs, so despite its tranquillity the place retains a strong social identity.
