Southwater North

Southwater North is an electoral ward on the northern edge of the large village of Southwater, within the district of Horsham in West Sussex, England. It sits on the southern fringe of the town and benefits from easy road links, making Gatwick and London commutable for many residents, while being close to the popular local amenity Southwater Country Park.

The area is largely residential with a mix of older village streets and more recent suburban developments, supported by local shops, schools and community groups; its semi‑rural character is marked by former gravel workings and lakes that now form much of the parkland. Historically rooted in small‑scale industry and agriculture, the ward today has a quiet, community‑focused feel with a significant commuter population and active local clubs and events.
