Henfield is a large village and civil parish in the district of Horsham, West Sussex, England, set in the shallow valley of the River Adur. The surrounding farmland, wet meadows and hedgerows give it a distinctly rural feel, while a compact historic centre of flint cottages, Georgian houses and a medieval parish church anchors the community.
Historically a market and coaching settlement, Henfield today mixes agriculture with independent shops, pubs and small businesses, and many residents commute to larger towns or the coast. It has a strong local life - active clubs, conservation groups and regular village events - so it remains a popular example of West Sussex village character within easy reach of urban amenities.
