Billingshurst is a large village and civil parish in the Horsham district of West Sussex, England. Set amid mixed downland and agricultural countryside, it benefits from good road and rail links - the local station on the Arun Valley Line gives regular services towards London and the south coast - which helps make it both a commuter base and a local service centre.
The village centre has a lively high street of independent shops, cafés and traditional pubs alongside community facilities, sports clubs and schools, with small business estates on the outskirts. Historically it grew as a market and coaching settlement and still shows that heritage in several listed buildings and its parish church; regular village events and a strong voluntary sector contribute to a close-knit community feel.
