About

Rusper, Faygate and Leechpool sit in the northern part of Horsham district between Horsham and Crawley. The area includes small villages and scattered farms linked by the A264 and minor lanes, with Faygate served by a local railway station on the Arun Valley Line. Villages retain a parish pattern of church, green and village hall, and there are a few shops and a pub serving day-to-day needs. Traffic routes and footpaths connect the settlements while farmland and paddocks form the surrounding patchwork.

To the west of the settlements a large block of woodland known locally as Leechpool and Owlbeech provides a mix of rides, ponds and old coppice that walkers and birdwatchers use year-round. Smallholdings and equestrian facilities lie around the edges of the woods, and several long-distance footpaths cross the parish landscape. The combination of rail access at Faygate, quiet lanes and accessible woodland gives the area a practical base for residents who work in nearby towns but use the countryside close by for recreation.
