About

Henfield ward encompasses the large village of Henfield and its surrounding rural landscape within the Horsham district. The area is characterised by a mix of residential streets, local shops, and service outlets centred along the High Street. The surrounding parish includes farmland, woodland, and the low-lying meadows of the River Adur floodplain, which shapes much of its outlying geography.

A notable local feature is the Henfield Museum, housed in a 16th-century cottage, which details the area's history. The ward contains several conservation areas with timber-framed buildings and is known for its active community associations. The landscape supports walking paths along the river and through the adjacent South Downs, which influence the local environment.
