Selsey sits at the very tip of its own peninsula, jutting out into the English Channel as the southernmost point of mainland Sussex. It is effectively "the end of the road," reached only by the B2145 from Chichester, which gives the town a distinct, self-contained character and a pace of life dictated by the tides. Historically a fishing village - and still famous for its lobster and crab - the town is bordered on one side by the Bill’s rugged coastline and on the other by the reclaimed wetlands of Pagham Harbour and Medmerry. These nature reserves provide a vital buffer of wild, open space, though they are a constant reminder of the sea’s proximity and the area’s long history of coastal erosion. Life here feels grounded in the elements; the weather is famously bright due to the lack of high ground, and the community is well-served by a high street that has managed to retain its independent shops despite the proximity of the cathedral city just eight miles to the north.
