Birdham is a small village and civil parish on the southern fringes of Chichester in West Sussex, sitting beside the tidal creeks and saltmarshes of Chichester Harbour. The harbour is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Ramsar site, so the locality is strongly defined by maritime landscapes, rich birdlife and a continuing sailing and small‑boat culture; nearby marinas and boatyards provide leisure and employment alongside traditional fisheries.
Its origins are long established and the parish retains a medieval church and a mix of agricultural and coastal heritage, while today it combines rural character with a commuter population drawn to Chichester and the south coast. Local life tends to revolve around conservation, watersports and community activities that reflect the village’s shoreline setting.
