About

The Hillside area lies on the northern edge of Adur district, characterised by its elevated position above the coastal plain. The residential streets are primarily lined with post-war housing, offering views over the rooftops towards the Adur River valley. It functions mainly as a quiet, suburban neighbourhood, with local convenience shops and schools serving the community. The topography creates a distinct separation from the more industrial and port-related activities found closer to the shoreline.

A network of public footpaths connects the area to the surrounding South Downs, providing direct access to open downland. The local recreation ground is a focal point for casual sports and gatherings. Transport links are straightforward, with reliable bus services descending the hill towards Shoreham-by-Sea town centre and its railway station. The overall atmosphere is residential and settled, defined by its geography and proximity to the national park.
