About

Downland Villages ward encompasses a cluster of rural settlements set within the rolling chalk landscape of the South Downs National Park. The area is characterised by farmland, woodlands, and scattered hamlets, with agriculture remaining a visible part of the local economy. Settlements like Hurstpierpoint and Keymer form larger hubs, providing essential services to the wider parish communities.

The ward's geography is defined by the steep north-facing scarp slope of the Downs, offering dramatic views across the Weald. A network of ancient paths, including the South Downs Way, traverses the area, connecting these villages to the expansive downland scenery. This landscape directly shapes the quiet, semi-rural character of the communities here.
