Upwaltham is a very small, remote rural parish in the Chichester district of West Sussex, England, set on the chalk slopes of the South Downs. The landscape is classic downland - rolling chalk hills, ancient strip fields and pasture - and the parish feels tucked away despite being within easy reach of larger towns.
Much of the local life revolves around farming, conservation of species-rich chalk grassland and a tiny dispersed community clustered around a historic parish church with medieval origins; there are also earthworks and traces of older field systems that appeal to walkers and local historians. The area forms part of the wider South Downs National Park landscape, so tourism, quiet recreation and nature protection sit alongside traditional agricultural uses.
