Westham in the district of Wealden, East Sussex, sits a short distance inland from Pevensey Bay on the edge of the low-lying Pevensey Levels and the South Downs fringe. Its setting mixes arable and grazing farmland with coastal marsh and wetland, making the area notable for wildlife and birdlife; it is served by Pevensey & Westham station on the East Coastway line and lies within easy commuting distance of Eastbourne and Bexhill.
The village has medieval roots and a historic parish church and developed to serve nearby agriculture and the great fortifications at Pevensey Castle. Proximity to the Roman/Saxon shore fort at Pevensey gives the locality national historic significance, while a mix of tourism, farming and local services sustain the economy; community life remains centred on local clubs, small shops and a village hall, making Westham a quietly attractive spot to live or visit.
