Westham is a rural civil parish in the Wealden district of East Sussex, England, lying just inland from Pevensey Bay and within easy reach of Eastbourne. The landscape mixes low-lying marshes and levels with farmland and small woodlands, and the parish is notable for its proximity to the medieval ruin of Pevensey Castle and the biodiversity-rich wetland of the Pevensey Levels.
With roots reaching back to Roman and Norman times, the area blends traditional agriculture and village life with a commuter population served by Pevensey & Westham railway station. Local heritage, conservation areas, pubs and small businesses help sustain the community, while heritage tourism and wildlife interest around the castle and levels provide an important local boost.
