Ashurst is a small, predominantly rural parish in the Horsham district of West Sussex, England, set among rolling farmland and pockets of mixed woodland typical of the Sussex countryside. The landscape offers lanes, hedgerows and a quiet, dispersed settlement pattern that makes it popular with walkers and those seeking a countryside base within easy reach of larger towns.
Historically the area has long agricultural roots with scattered farmsteads and a compact historic core; many buildings are of traditional local materials and there are traces of historic field patterns. Today the local economy remains largely rural while a significant number of residents commute to nearby centres for work, and community life tends to revolve around neighbouring villages and parish events rather than large local services.
