Findon nestles at the foot of the South Downs just five miles north of Worthing and the coast and 30 minutes drive south of Horsham. The area is also within easy reach of London with trains from Worthing taking approximately 1 and a half hours.

The village also has its own Fire Station and Parish Church although it is now separated from the church by the A24 bypass.
