Clapham is a small, tucked-away village in the district of Arun, West Sussex, England, set on the lower flanks of the South Downs overlooking the River Arun valley. It sits inland from the south coast, within easy reach of Littlehampton and Arundel, and enjoys the rolling chalk downland, country lanes and good walking and cycling access that make the area popular with people seeking a rural base close to the coast.
Historically an agricultural community, Clapham retains a compact village feel with a mix of older cottages and later homes, a parish church of medieval origin and local social life centred on village events and the hall rather than large commercial centres. The economy is largely local and rural with many residents commuting to nearby towns; its quiet lanes, views over the Arun valley and proximity to the Downs give it a popular reputation among walkers, cyclists and those looking for countryside within easy reach of the south coast.
