Milland

Milland is one of those barely-noticed hamlets that appears on maps more by tradition than by size, sitting in a fold of the South Downs between Midhurst and Rogate. The settlement consists of a handful of houses and farm buildings, and is best known to visitors for The Rising Sun pub, which has long served as a focal point for the local community and a welcome stop for walkers and travellers. The immediate landscape around Milland is quintessential downland, with open fields, copses, and the sense of remoteness that characterises the northern fringes of West Sussex.

For those travelling by bus along the 93 route, Milland marks a point where the landscape opens out and the busier world temporarily recedes. The hamlet offers an authentic glimpse of rural settlement patterns, unadorned by tourism infrastructure. The surrounding countryside invites exploration on foot, with paths leading into the Downs and connecting to larger walking networks. It is a place to pause, refuel, and absorb the quiet character of the Sussex pastoral landscape.
