Welcome to Woldhurst

Woldhurst is a small village located in the district of Horsham, West Sussex. The village is situated on the edge of the Weald, a large area of woodland and farmland that stretches across the south-east of England. Woldhurst is surrounded by beautiful countryside, making it an ideal location for those who enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, and horse riding.

The village has a rich history, with evidence of human habitation dating back to the Bronze Age. The name Woldhurst is thought to derive from the Old English words 'wold' meaning woodland and 'hyrst' meaning hill, reflecting the village's location on a hill overlooking the surrounding countryside. Today, Woldhurst is a peaceful and picturesque village with a close-knit community and a range of amenities including a village hall, a pub, and a primary school.

Despite its rural location, Woldhurst is well-connected to the rest of West Sussex and beyond. The village is just a short drive from the A24, which provides easy access to Horsham, Crawley, and Gatwick Airport. The nearby town of Billingshurst also has a train station with regular services to London and the south coast. With its stunning scenery, rich history, and convenient location, Woldhurst is a wonderful place to call home.
