Old Orchard occupies a prime position within the heart of Lodsworth village. The village is set in the rolling West Sussex countryside within the South Downs National Park and is home to The Hollist, the village pub, and the Lodsworth Larder, the award-winning village shop opened, run and staffed by the village community. The nearby towns of Petworth and Midhurst offer a wide range of shops and services, whilst more comprehensive shopping and recreational facilities can be found in nearby Petersfield, Guildford and the cathedral city of Chichester. There is good access to London and the south coast via the A3 which links to the M25 and national motorway network.

There is a wide range of schools in the area, including Bedales, Ditcham Park and Churchers' College at Petersfield, Seaford College at Petworth, Brookham and Highfield at Liphook, St Edmund's at Hindhead and Charterhouse at Godalming.Recreational and sporting facilities are superb, with racing at Goodwood and Fontwell, polo at Cowdray Park, golf at Midhurst, Petersfield and Pulborough and sailing off the south coast at Chichester, as well as a wonderful array of footpaths and bridleways that the surrounding countryside has to offer. For the arts, Chichester Festival Theatre is extremely well-renowned, as is the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre in Guildford.
