Colgate is a small, rural village in the district of Horsham, West Sussex, England, tucked into the mixed farmland and patches of ancient woodland typical of the area. It lies within easy reach of the High Weald and the South Downs, and its lanes, ponds and hedgerows give a distinctly Sussex feel rather than an urban one.
Historically the area was shaped by agriculture and the wider Wealden industries, and today the village retains cottages, farms and a close-knit community while many residents commute to nearby towns or to London. Local community activities, a few small businesses and equestrian and outdoor pursuits help maintain Colgate’s rural character even as it benefits from good access to services in Horsham.
