Westham sits on the edge of the Pevensey Levels, tucked just behind the flint walls of the Roman Saxon Shore fort. In many ways, the village feels like a quiet anchor between the inland marshland and the coast, with its history literally built into the landscape; the 11th-century Church of St Mary was constructed using stones salvaged from the Roman ruins nearby. It is a practical place to live, anchored by a high street that leads directly to the Pevensey & Westham railway station, which provides reliable hourly links to Eastbourne, Hastings, and London Victoria. While it shares a close identity with its neighbour, Pevensey, Westham has its own distinct character, defined by a mix of period cottages and more modern residential pockets. It’s a flat, walkable area where the coastal breeze is a constant presence, and the proximity to the Pevensey Bay shoreline - just over a mile away - means you are never far from the sea, though the village itself remains sheltered from the harshest of the salt spray.
