Cowfold is a compact rural village and civil parish in the Horsham district of West Sussex in England, set among rolling downland and farmland on the edge of the South Downs landscape. The village retains a good number of historic buildings - from an old parish church to traditional inns - reflecting its long local history while sitting within easy reach of larger market towns.

Community life is lively for a settlement of its size, with a village hall, sports clubs and seasonal events that bring residents together; the local economy mixes agriculture and small businesses with many people commuting to nearby towns. Visitors and locals alike appreciate the quiet lanes, countryside walks and a heritage that feels distinctly Sussex rather than suburban.
