Map of the UK

The area centres on the attractive market town of Steyning and the small village of Ashurst in the district of Horsham, West Sussex, sitting on the edge of the South Downs National Park and close to the tidal reaches of the River Adur. Rolling downland, public footpaths and quiet lanes give it a rural, recreational feel popular with walkers, cyclists and equestrians.

Steyning has Saxon roots, a notable Norman church and a compact high street of independent shops, cafés and historic pubs, with a lively community calendar including festivals and markets. Ashurst remains largely agricultural, so the local economy mixes farming, small businesses, tourism and commuter households, while conservation areas help retain much of the district’s historic character.
