Ford, a West Sussex village, feels the gentle breath of the Arun district, a place where chalk downs begin their subtle surrender to the coast. It lies 3.1 km west-north-west of Littlehampton (from Littlehampton: bearing 296°T, OS grid TQ 000 033), and is situated north-north-east of Horsemere Green village. The River Arun, a silver ribbon, whispers past its edges, carrying tales of tides and ancient crossings, and the air here often carries the faint, sweet scent of cultivated fields, a reminder of the agricultural heart that beats within Ford. The village’s modest scale allows for a quiet contemplation of the surrounding landscape, where hedgerows form intricate patterns against the wide, pale English sky, a sky that has witnessed centuries unfold. While not a grand centre of commerce, the spirit of Ford resides in its enduring connection to the land and the timeless flow of the nearby river.
