Barnham is a village in the district of Arun in West Sussex, England, sitting just inland from the south coast a few miles north of Bognor Regis and east of Littlehampton. It benefits from good transport links - Barnham railway station is a small junction with branch connections to Bognor Regis and Littlehampton, and the village lies close to the main A27 coastal route, making it popular with commuters.
The village still reflects its agricultural past even as housing developments and commuters have changed its profile; you'll find a compact centre with local shops, a parish church and community facilities, and easy access to coastal walking and nearby countryside reserves. There are also remnants of 20th-century military activity in the area and a modest local history, so Barnham offers a mix of rural charm, seaside proximity and everyday village life rather than a single tourist draw.
