A collection of three villages one and a half to three miles west of Petworth.
River is further to the west.
The outstanding feature of Tillington is the mediaeval church with its Scots crown spire which has featured in paintings by both J.H.W. Turner and John Constable. The village includes a number of 16 th and 17 th century houses and includes the Horse Guards Inn and Hotel and the village Post Office and General Stores. Moving up the hill alongside the wall to Upperton there is a recreation ground with pavilion, tennis courts and children's play area with what must be the most beautiful view of the Rother Valley and South Downs. Upperton is a charming hamlet with old houses, many of which were originally small cottages which have been joined together to form larger houses. There is an entrance to Petworth Park from here.
