Westergate sits as a key component of the 'Six Villages' area, nestled on the coastal plain just north of Bognor Regis and roughly five miles east of Chichester. It is a place where the landscape begins to transition from the flat, fertile market gardens of the south towards the gentler rise of the South Downs. Historically, the village grew along the north-south axis of Westergate Street, and you can still see this evolution in the architecture, where 18th-century flint cottages sit alongside the substantial Victorian buildings of the former Workhouse. Today, life tends to revolve around the local schools and the cluster of amenities near the Ivy Lane junction, while the nearby Barnham railway station provides a practical link for those needing to reach London or Brighton. It’s a grounded, functional community that benefits from being caught between the city and the sea, offering easy access to the Roman walls of Chichester and the open trails of the National Park without losing its own distinct, quiet identity.
