Barnham sits in the district of Arun in West Sussex, England, a few miles inland from the south coast between Bognor Regis and Chichester. It benefits from good road and rail links - the local station is an important junction for branch services into the coastal towns - and lies within easy reach of the rolling countryside of the South Downs.
The ward mixes residential streets, small shops and surrounding farmland, and its growth was closely tied to the arrival of the railway in the 19th century. Local life still centres on village amenities such as the parish church, village hall and pubs, with a largely commuter population who work in nearby towns alongside agriculture and small local businesses, giving it a village atmosphere despite steady development.
