Barlavington is a very small, rural civil parish in the district of Chichester, West Sussex, England. It is sparsely populated and dominated by farmland and a scattering of historic houses and cottages, reflecting origins that go back to the medieval landscape of Sussex. Local life tends to revolve around agriculture and country living rather than shops or industry, and the built environment contains a number of older, listed buildings that hint at its long history.
The parish sits in pleasant rolling countryside and is within easy reach of the South Downs National Park and the wider Sussex coast, so it attracts walkers and people seeking rural tranquillity. Services are limited locally, so residents typically look to nearby villages and market towns in the Chichester area for amenities, schooling and employment.
