About

Fernhurst ward covers a large rural area in the western part of the Chichester district, characterised by its significant woodland and scattered settlements. The landscape is dominated by the rising terrain of the South Downs, with mixed farmland and extensive forestry. The ward includes the village of Fernhurst itself, along with smaller hamlets like Henley and North Ambersham, all set within this predominantly green and undeveloped part of West Sussex.

A notable aspect is the presence of the former mining area around Fernhurst village, reflecting a historical industrial past within the otherwise agricultural and sylvan setting. The ward contains parts of the Sussex Border Path and is bordered by protected heathland. Local governance is managed through its own parish council, focusing on the needs of its dispersed residential community amidst the working countryside.
