Map of the UK

Sidlesham is a small rural parish in the district of Chichester in West Sussex, England, lying on the low-lying coastal plain a few miles east of Selsey and close to the tidal lagoons of Pagham Harbour. The flat, marshy landscape and nearby reedbeds make it notable for birdlife and coastal scenery rather than dramatic topography.

Locally the economy is still strongly agricultural, with market gardening, glasshouse produce and livestock alongside small-scale local businesses; the village has medieval roots with traditional buildings and a tight-knit community life centred on the village hall and occasional local events. Its proximity to the harbour and nature reserves also attracts walkers and birdwatchers, giving the place a quietly rural, conservation-minded character.
