The electoral ward covering Cowfold, Shermanbury and West Grinstead sits in the northern part of Horsham district in West Sussex, England. It is largely rural, characterised by rolling farmland and river-valley scenery around the River Adur, with the sweeping downs and wooded ridges of the South Downs and High Weald landscape within easy reach.
The three communities range from the service‑centred village of Cowfold and the small riverside hamlet of Shermanbury to the broader parish of West Grinstead, notable for country estates including Knepp and its high‑profile rewilding project. The local economy mixes agriculture and small businesses with commuters to nearby towns, while village halls, historic churches, pubs and annual fetes help sustain a close-knit community life.
