About

Salvington is a residential neighbourhood situated on the northern edge of Worthing, bordering the South Downs National Park. The area is characterised by a mix of post-war housing estates and older properties, with streets laid out in a largely grid-like pattern. Its position provides direct access to the downland landscape, with the A27 dual carriageway forming a significant boundary to the north, separating it from the wider Downs.

The area's history is notably linked to the Elizabethan composer John Dowland, who is believed to have been born here. A local primary school bears his name. Salvington is primarily a quiet, suburban community with local shops and services centred along Salvington Road. The open downland scenery to the north offers walking routes and a distinct rural contrast to the urban setting.
