The village and civil parish of Ashington lies in the district of Horsham in West Sussex, England. It occupies a pleasant rural setting of farmland, copses and rolling downland and includes the larger hamlet of Barns Green, so it feels more like a cluster of communities than a single nucleated village. The countryside around the parish is popular with walkers and riders and sits within easy reach of the South Downs.
Historically agricultural, Ashington has gradually evolved into a mix of small-scale farming, local businesses and commuter households who travel to nearby towns. Community life is lively for a place of its size, centred on village halls, pubs, sports clubs and seasonal events that keep a strong sense of local identity, while a number of historic farmsteads and cottages testify to its rural past.
