Amberley village. Some of the many thatched cottages can be seen in the image.

Amberley is a village and civil parish in the Horsham District of West Sussex, England.

Amberley is situated at the foot of the South Downs. Its neighbours are Storrington, West Chiltington and Arundel. The village is noted for its many thatched cottages. The house named "The Thatched Cottage" is one of the village's few non-thatched houses.

One of the attractions in Amberley is Amberley Working Museum which was used as a set location for the James Bond film A View to a Kill as "Mainstrike Mine".

Amberley has its own railway station on the Arun Valley Line, with regular services to Bognor Regis, Portsmouth and London.

To the north of the village is the tidal plain of the River Arun, known as Amberley Wild Brooks. This wetland area is a Site of Special Scientific Interest which floods in winter and is known for its wildfowl. Good views can be had from the Sportsman Pub at the east end of the village, known as crossgates. The Black Horse in the centre of the village often has Morris Dancing in Summer. Amberley also has a castle, which is now a Hotel. The 'castle' is in fact a fortified manor House next to which is a Norman Church, the Parish Church of St Michael.
