Staplefield in the district of Mid Sussex, West Sussex, England is a small, rural village set among mixed farmland and hedgerow country on the edge of the High Weald. It sits a few miles from Haywards Heath and Cuckfield and remains within reasonable travelling distance of London and Brighton, which helps explain its mix of long‑standing agricultural households and commuter families.
The village retains a strong sense of place thanks to its green, a parish church and a handful of traditional cottages and pubs, and local life still revolves around village events, the hall and conservation groups. Economically it’s largely residential with some farming and small businesses, while recreationally it appeals to walkers and riders who enjoy the nearby lanes, commons and the rural landscape of the High Weald.
