'''Sompting''' is a village and [[civil parish]] in the coastal [[Adur (district)|Adur]] District of [[West Sussex]], England between [[Lancing, West Sussex|Lancing]] and [[Worthing]].  It is half grassland slopes and half developed plain at the foot of the [[South Downs National Park]]. Twentieth-century estates dovetail into those of slightly larger Lancing.
