Rusper sits in the district of Horsham in West Sussex, England, close to the border with Surrey and only a few miles north of Horsham town and to the west of Crawley and Gatwick Airport. The parish occupies gentle low-weald countryside of mixed arable fields, hedgerows and small woodlands, so it feels distinctly rural despite good road links to nearby centres.
The village has a quietly historic character, with period cottages and a long-established parish church at its heart, and the local economy still leans on agriculture alongside a significant commuter presence. Community life is typical of a small English village, centred on the village hall, local pub and seasonal events that pull residents together and help preserve its countryside identity.
