Appledram

Appledram is a small rural civil parish just south-west of Chichester in West Sussex, often seen written historically as Apuldram. It sits on the northern shore of Chichester Harbour, a landscape of tidal creeks, saltmarsh and open farmland that attracts walkers, birdwatchers and small-scale boating; the harbour is protected as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a site of special scientific interest.

The settlement retains a distinctly quiet, agricultural character with roots in a long local history and an ancient parish church at its heart. Today the economy is largely farming with some residents commuting to Chichester, and the parish offers a close‑knit community feel with limited amenities but easy access to the recreational and natural attractions of the harbour.
