Westbourne is a compact rural parish in the district of Chichester, in West Sussex, England, lying a few miles east of Chichester and close to Emsworth and Chichester Harbour. The settlement sits around the small Bourne, part of the River Ems system, with farmland, hedgerows and pockets of woodland leading up towards the South Downs, giving a quietly scenic, semi-rural character.
The village retains a number of historic flint and brick houses and a medieval parish church, reflecting its long agricultural past. Today the community combines farming and small local businesses with commuter households drawn to nearby towns; there is an active village life with local clubs, a village hall and seasonal events that underline a strong sense of place.
