Steyning is a small historic market town in the district of Horsham, West Sussex, England, sitting at the foot of the South Downs close to the River Adur and only a few miles from the coast at Shoreham-by-Sea. It has medieval origins and a compact High Street of timber‑framed and Georgian buildings centred around St Andrew's Church; the old railway route has been repurposed as the Downs Link for walkers and cyclists.
Steyning retains a lively community feel with independent shops, cafés, antiques and a steady stream of visitors drawn by walking, local history and the arts - the town stages an annual festival and supports a strong voluntary scene. Agriculture, tourism and the small local retail sector underpin the economy, while good road and rail links make it popular with commuters heading to Brighton and London, and the presence of Steyning Grammar School adds to its role as a local centre for families.
