Strettington emerges from the flat, chalky plains of West Sussex as a modest cluster of dwellings defined by the quiet persistence of its agricultural roots. It lies 2.7 miles north-east of Chichester (from Chichester: bearing 50°T, OS grid SU 893 076), and is situated east-north-east of Westerton village. The landscape here is broad and open, where the light hits the low-lying fields with a clarity that seems to sharpen the edges of every flint wall and hedgerow. To the north, the ancient earthworks of Devil's Ditch trace a silent, grassy line across the rising ground, marking a boundary between the modern road and the deep history of the South Downs. Strettington remains a place where the hum of the nearby Goodwood Motor Circuit often carries on the breeze, a mechanical counterpoint to the slow turn of the seasons in the surrounding arable land. Further east, the stark, skeletal remains of Boxgrove Priory rise against the horizon, anchoring the district in a long, ecclesiastical shadow. The air here tastes of cooling earth and salt-tinged wind, a reminder of the proximity to the coast, yet the character of Strettington stays firmly tethered to the rhythmic demands of the soil. It is a location that demands little attention, preferring to exist in the steady, unadorned light of its own quiet geography.
