About

Colgate & Rusper ward encompasses a rural portion of northern Horsham District, characterised by farmland, woodland, and scattered settlements. The area includes the village of Colgate and the larger village of Rusper, which is centred around its historic parish church. Land use is predominantly agricultural, with a network of narrow country lanes connecting isolated farms and residential properties. The landscape forms part of the southern reaches of the Weald, marked by gentle hills and small streams.

A notable local landmark is Rusper's former railway station, a reminder of the long-closed Horsham to Three Bridges line, now a private residence. The ward contains significant areas of ancient woodland, such as Rusper Forest, which is managed for timber and wildlife. Community life is focused around the village halls, the church, and the local primary school in Rusper. The overall atmosphere is quiet and residential, with a strong emphasis on its agricultural heritage and green spaces.
