Parish Information

Upper Beeding is a pretty village in West Sussex, which lies in the flood plain of the River Adur. Beeding in Bloom, a committee of local villagers, have taken over the entry of the village in local and national flower competitions and their success is apparent from the appearance of the village.

Facilities within Upper Beeding include a Sports Hall, tennis court and playing fields. There is also a Village Hall, where regular talks from the Beeding & Bramber Local History Society and other leisure activities take place. Sites of local interest include Saltings Field, a wildlife conservation area with 13th-15th century salt making remnants and the Saxon parish church of St. Peter's.

Also included in the parish are the hamlets of Edburton (which is home to the 13th century St. Andrew's church) and Small Dole, where Tottington Woods, a 13 acre community woodland and nature reserve run by local volunteers, can be found.

The village has good access to the coastal towns of Shoreham and Brighton.
