Billingshurst is a sizeable village and civil parish in the district of Horsham, West Sussex, England. It sits in a largely rural setting on the fringe of the South Downs and the High Weald, surrounded by farmland, hedgerows and pockets of woodland, which gives it a distinctly semi-rural character despite good road links.
The village has a long high street with some timber‑framed buildings and a medieval parish church, St Mary's, reflecting its historic roots. Today Billingshurst combines commuter living with local industry and agriculture: Billingshurst railway station on the Arun Valley Line provides direct rail links that make travel to Horsham, Gatwick and London straightforward, while a busy community life - shops, clubs and annual events - keeps the centre active.
