has its own railway station on the Arun Valley Line, with regular hourly services to Bognor Regis, Portsmouth and London. Amberley is situated at the foot of the South Downs. Its neighbours are Storrington, Pulborough and Arundel. The village is noted for its many thatched cottages. One of the attractions in Amberley is Amberley Working Museum which is next door to the railway station, the museum holds regular events.

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. There are a number of tea rooms and public houses within Amberley which serve a great variety of local fare. 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.
