Chithurst is a small rural hamlet in the district of Chichester, West Sussex, England, set among the rolling chalk of the South Downs. It feels distinctly quiet and agricultural, with public footpaths and lanes that attract walkers and birdwatchers and sits within easy reach of nearby market towns and the city of Chichester.
What makes Chithurst particularly notable is its Buddhist monastery, Cittaviveka, which brought the Thai Forest Theravāda tradition to the area and draws retreatants and visitors from across the country; otherwise the hamlet retains a small, close‑knit community, a largely farming‑based economy and a handful of historic buildings and lanes that give a strong sense of local continuity.
