West Grinstead is a largely rural civil parish in the district of Horsham, West Sussex, England, centred on a scattering of villages and hamlets such as Partridge Green and Dial Post. The landscape follows the River Adur valley with rolling farmland, woodlands and the ruins and broad parkland of Knepp Castle, now best known for the Knepp rewilding estate and its conservation-led tourism and wildlife projects, including notable species reintroductions.
Locally the parish combines traditional agricultural and equestrian activity with small local shops, pubs and village halls that sustain a close-knit rural community, while many residents commute to nearby towns such as Horsham or Brighton. Its historic roots and recent high-profile conservation work make it an interesting mix of old Sussex rural life and modern environmental enterprise.
