Singleton is a small village and civil parish in the district of Chichester, West Sussex, in southern England. It sits on the southern fringes of the South Downs, surrounded by farmland, hedgerows and small woods, and is popular with walkers and cyclists who enjoy the classic chalk downland scenery; the historic city of Chichester and the nearby Goodwood estate are a short drive away.
Historically agricultural, Singleton retains a mix of traditional cottages and larger country houses and sits within a landscape shaped by Roman and medieval activity in the wider area. The local economy still features farming and some rural tourism, while many residents commute to neighbouring towns; socially the village keeps a close-knit feel with parish events and easy access to the cultural amenities of Chichester and the South Downs.
