Ardingly is a village and civil parish in the district of Mid Sussex, West Sussex, set in gently rolling Weald countryside close to the edge of the South Downs. It lies a few miles south of Haywards Heath and is perhaps best known for Ardingly Reservoir, a popular local spot for sailing, walking and birdwatching that gives the area a strong outdoor appeal.
The village combines a traditional rural feel with an active events and education scene: it hosts Ardingly College and the South of England Showground, which brings regular fairs, exhibitions and markets that boost the local economy and community life. Historic buildings and small local businesses maintain a village atmosphere, while the showground and reservoir ensure Ardingly attracts visitors from across the region.
