Henfield sits on a sandy ridge overlooking the Adur Valley, positioned about halfway between the South Downs and the Low Weald. It is one of the larger villages in West Sussex, but it has managed to keep a self-contained feel, largely because it isn't bisected by a major trunk road. The High Street is the functional heart of the place, still supporting a proper range of independent shops, a post office, and a library, while the common land at Henfield Common and Broadmere Common provides a natural green border to the east and south. Historically, the village appears in the Domesday Book, and you can still see that deep history in the tucked-away corners like the area around St Peter’s Church and the historic Cat House. For those who walk or cycle, the Downs Link follows the old railway line nearby, connecting the village directly to the coast at Shoreham and north towards Guildford, making the surrounding marshlands and river levels easily accessible.
