Wisborough Green is a village and civil parish in West Sussex, England, 2 miles (3.2 km) west of Billingshurst on the A272 road.
Newbridge, where the A272 crosses the River Arun 1 mile (1.6 km) east of the village, was the highest point of the Arun Navigation, and the southern end of the Wey and Arun Canal. Newbridge Wharf(e), beneath the bridge, was an important part of the local transport system in the nineteenth century, before which, in the parish much further south, Pallingham Quay or Wharf was the limit of most navigation.[3]
