Southwater West Sussex Map

About Southwater

Southwater breathes a quiet existence in the West Sussex landscape. It lies 4.5 km south-south-west of Horsham (from Horsham: bearing 202°T, OS grid TQ 156 262), and is situated east-south-east of Barns Green village. The village often enjoys a soft, diffused light, particularly in the autumn months, as it sits on relatively flat terrain that allows the sky to feel expansive. Its name, echoing a watercourse, hints at the gentle streams and drainage that thread through the surrounding fields, a subtle murmur beneath the hum of modern life. The presence of Southwater’s village green, a patch of well-trodden grass where community life often unfurls, speaks of a long-held tradition of gathering and shared space. While not a bustling hub, Southwater possesses a certain grounded dignity, a place where the past quietly informs the present.
