Hassocks is a civil parish in the district of Mid Sussex, West Sussex, in southern England, sitting at the foot of the South Downs. The village grew up around the arrival of the railway in the 19th century and remains a busy commuter stop on the Brighton–London corridor; nearby landmarks such as Ditchling Beacon and the Clayton Windmills make the surrounding countryside popular with walkers and cyclists.
The parish blends Victorian and more recent housing with independent shops, community clubs and small businesses, reflecting its shift from agricultural roots to a suburban community. Historic traces such as the Victorian station, old coaching routes and local industrial remnants sit alongside active village events and sports clubs, giving Hassocks a strong local identity.
