The surrounding parish includes farmland, woodland, and the low-lying meadows of the River Adur floodplain, which shapes much of its outlying geography.

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.
