About Warninglid Village
Warninglid is a small, picturesque village located in the Mid Sussex district of West Sussex, England. Situated on the edge of the South Downs National Park, Warninglid is surrounded by rolling hills and beautiful countryside, making it a popular destination for walkers and nature enthusiasts.
Its centre was the first of six Conservation Areas that were established in Sussex and it has won the prestigious Best Kept Village competition three times and been runner-up on six other occasions.
The village itself is steeped in history, with evidence of settlements dating back to the Iron Age. Today, Warninglid retains its traditional charm, with a mix of old and new buildings.
At the centre of the village is a crossroads where the Half Moon public house, a Grade II listed brick and stone pub dating back to the 19th Century, is located. There is also a Village Hall, provided by the late Lady Seaforth, an excellent public meeting place. Please click here for more information and hiring details.
The Recreation Ground, tucked away behind the public house, has a picturesque cricket pitch and green in a particularly rural setting. It has houses on two sides and a children’s playground, allotments and fields on the remaining sides. Cricket teams travel from across the county and beyond to play on the excellently maintained pitch.
There are also areas of Ancient Woodland owned and maintained by the Woodland Trust, several farms providing grazing for sheep, crops and hay, with a widespread horse community in the village.
Despite its small size, Warninglid is conveniently located just a few miles from the bustling town of Haywards Heath, which offers a wider range of amenities and transport links to London and other major cities. Whether you're looking for a quiet retreat or a base to explore the South Downs and beyond, Warninglid has something to offer.
