Southbourne West Sussex Map

About Southbourne

Southbourne breathes the quiet air of Sussex, a place where the land gently inclines towards the coast. It lies 2.0 km east of Emsworth (from Emsworth: bearing 86°T, OS grid SU 769 061), and is situated north-west of Nutbourne village. The soil here, a rich loam, has long yielded its bounty, a quiet testament to generations of agricultural endeavour, and the distant tang of the Solent is often carried on the breeze, a subtle reminder of the sea's proximity. In the heart of Southbourne, the village green, a patch of emerald ambition, often hums with the gentle murmur of local life, while the surrounding houses, a pleasing mix of older brick and more modern design, seem to stand in comfortable conversation with each other. The light, particularly in the late afternoon, possesses a soft, almost luminous quality, gilding the edges of the rooftops and lending a serene beauty to the day’s slow descent.
