Rudgwick is a village and civil parish in the district of Horsham, West Sussex, England, lying close to the border with Surrey. It retains a distinctly rural feel, set among rolling downland and farmland with a historic village core of older cottages and lanes; parts of the village fall within conservation areas that reflect its long local history and agricultural roots.
Traditionally agricultural, the parish now supports a mix of small businesses and commuter households who travel to nearby centres such as Horsham and London. Local life is centred on village amenities - shops, pubs, a primary school, sports clubs and a village hall - and there is an active community calendar of fetes and clubs. The village was once served by a rural railway line that closed in the 1960s, a reminder of its transition from a self-contained rural economy to a more connected commuter community.
