About

Hassocks ward encompasses the main village of Hassocks and the smaller settlement of Keymer, situated at the northern edge of the South Downs National Park. The area is defined by its proximity to the Downs, with the prominent landmark of Wolstonbury Hill rising to the south. Residential development is mixed with areas of farmland and open space, creating a transition between the urban fringe and the protected chalk grassland of the national park.

The railway station provides a direct link to London and Brighton, influencing the community's composition. Local commerce is centred along the High Street and around the station. The surrounding landscape includes the Clayton to Offham Escarpment, a notable Site of Special Scientific Interest known for its ancient dew ponds and archaeological features, including Neolithic flint mines.
