Harting Parish
Guide
 
South Harting, Nyewood, West Harting & East Harting
West Sussex
 

Harting is a parish in West Sussex situated on the north face of the South Downs. It is comprised of four villages, South Harting, & Nyewood, plus West & East Harting. The River Rother divides it from Rogate to the north, and the southern border is on the Downs.
 
The larger of the villages, South Harting, has two churches, Anglican and Congregational. The village has a primary school and 2 pubs, the Ship Inn & White Hart.
The villages are overlooked by Harting Down with views of the Channel and the Isle of Wight. To the east of Harting Down is Beacon Hill which is home to a hill fort built 2,500 years ago and from 1796 to 1816 was a station for shutter telegraph chain, which connected the Admiralty in London to its ships in Plymouth and Portsmouth.
Although Harting Down was first occupied around 3000BC a large portion of it has never been farmed intensively, and is important in representing the chalk grassland that once covered the downs.
