Chidham West Sussex Map

About Chidham

Chidham, a hamlet cradled by the West Sussex coastline, breathes the salt-tinged air of the Solent. It lies 4.7 km east-south-east of Emsworth (from Emsworth: bearing 111°T, OS grid SU 793 043), and is situated west-north-west of Bosham village. The very land here seems to incline gently towards the water, the fields a patchwork of greens and golds under a sky that often shifts from pearly grey to the sharp blue of a robin's egg. Ancient oak trees, their branches gnarled like arthritic fingers, stand sentinel along the quiet lanes, witnesses to centuries of ebb and flow. The church of St. Mary, with its sturdy tower, anchors the scattered dwellings, a beacon in the soft, diffused light that characterizes this part of England. Here, the rhythm of life is measured not by the clock's insistent tick, but by the turning of the tides and the distant cry of gulls.
