Shermanbury is a small, largely rural parish in the district of Horsham, West Sussex, England, sitting in the shallow valley cut by the River Adur. The landscape is a mix of meadows, hedgerows and rolling downland with a network of footpaths and bridleways, and the settlement pattern is scattered rather than nucleated, giving a quiet, countryside character popular with walkers and horse riders.
Historically the area retains a number of attractive old buildings including a notable country house known as Shermanbury Court and a parish church with medieval roots, and there is a long-standing tradition of farming and equestrian activity. Locally the community relies on nearby villages and towns for most services, while the Adur valley provides wildlife interest and a sense of rural heritage close to larger centres such as Henfield and Horsham.
