Coombes emerges from the chalky, windswept folds of the South Downs, where the land holds the quiet gravity of ancient, pastoral silence. It lies 2.1 miles south-south-east of Steyning (from Steyning: bearing 153°T, OS grid TQ 192 082), and is situated south-south-west of Castle Town village. This remote cluster of buildings rests entirely within South Downs National Park, a landscape defined by the relentless, silvery light that scours the ridges and hollows. To the north-west, the dry valley of Winding Bottom carves a deep, grass-grown scar into the earth, reflecting the slow geological patience of the terrain. The small Church of St Mary stands as a solitary sentinel, its flint walls absorbing the damp, salt-laden winds that drift inland from the coast. Nearby, the waters of Passies Pond offer a dark, reflective mirror to the sky, breaking the monotonous, rolling expanse of the surrounding hills. Coombes remains a place where the modern world thins to a whisper, leaving only the sharp, clean edges of the escarpment and the persistent, rhythmic cycle of the seasons.
