Midhurst is a historic market town and civil parish in the district of Chichester, West Sussex, England, sitting in the valley of the upper River Rother at the edge of the South Downs. Its compact town centre preserves a medieval street pattern, a mix of stone and brick buildings and the prominent parish church of St Mary, while independent shops, antique dealers and cafés give it a village-like social feel despite its wider parish role.
The area is notable for the dramatic ruins of Cowdray House and the nearby Cowdray Park polo grounds, which attract visitors alongside walkers and cyclists using the South Downs and surrounding countryside; agriculture and a modest local service economy underpin life here, with tourism, heritage and commuting to nearby coastal and regional centres also important. The town sits close to heritage attractions such as the Weald and Downland open-air museum at Singleton and makes a popular base for exploring the wider national park landscape.
