Southwater is a welcoming village nestled just south of Horsham in West Sussex. It blends the charm of countryside living with the convenience of modern amenities. With its scenic surroundings, community spirit, and easy access to nature, it's a place where both families and visitors feel right at home.

The village's history stretches back centuries, with its name evolving from "Suthwatre" in 1346 to "Southewater" in 1570, before settling on Southwater. Historically, it was a hub for agriculture and brickmaking, with the Southwater brickworks producing millions of bricks annually during its peak. The transformation of the old brickworks site into Southwater Country Park in 1985 marked a significant shift, turning industrial grounds into a haven for wildlife and recreation.

Today, Southwater boasts a range of attractions and facilities. The Southwater Country Park, spanning 70 acres, features lakes, nature trails, and a watersports centre offering activities like sailing and canoeing. The village centre, revitalised in 2006, is home to a variety of shops, eateries, and community spaces. Pubs like The Hen and Chicken and The Tipsy Fox offer cosy spots for locals and visitors alike.

Beyond the village, West Sussex offers a plethora of attractions. From the historic Arundel Castle to the scenic South Downs National Park, there's something for everyone. The county's coastline, including spots like Bognor Regis and Worthing, provides seaside charm, while towns like Chichester offer cultural experiences.

Transportation is straightforward. While Southwater doesn't have its own train station, nearby Horsham station connects to major destinations. The A24 road provides easy access by car, and Gatwick Airport is approximately 15 miles away, making international travel convenient.

West Sussex, as a county, is a blend of rolling hills, historic towns, and coastal beauty. It's a region that offers both tranquillity and vibrancy, making it a desirable place to live and visit.
