Burgess Hill is a town in Mid Sussex, West Sussex, England, lying close to the northern edge of the South Downs and within easy rail reach of Brighton to the south and London to the north. Its location on key transport routes has made it a modern commuter town with a mix of residential suburbs, light industry and business parks.
Originally a small agricultural settlement, Burgess Hill expanded notably with the arrival of the railway in the 19th century; today that history sits alongside recent town‑centre regeneration, active community groups, local events and plenty of green space, which together help explain its appeal to families and people working across the region.
