Southwater is a large village and civil parish just to the south of Horsham in West Sussex, England, with a mix of historic flint buildings and more recent housing that reflects its growth as a commuter area for London and local industry. The village sits around a restored gravel-pit landscape that is now the popular Southwater Country Park, featuring a lake, wetlands and waymarked paths that attract walkers, birdwatchers and families.
Locally there’s a lively community life with primary schools, small shops, leisure facilities and clubs, and a parish character that balances conservation of green spaces with modest commercial development; its history is reflected in surviving older buildings and the way the parkland has been reclaimed for recreation and wildlife.
