About

Ferring sits along the coastal strip between Worthing and Littlehampton, characterised by a mix of residential streets and a long, pebbly beach backed by a wide green. The village centre clusters around Ferring Street, with local shops and services. To the east, the area merges into Kingston Gorse, a more secluded residential enclave known for its large, wooded plots and private access to the shoreline.

The shingle beach is a defining feature, with the tide revealing extensive sand flats at low water. Immediately inland, the Ferring Rife, a chalk stream, flows through a meadow and under the coast road to the sea. The area is noted for its quiet, green feel, with the South Downs providing a backdrop to the north.
