West Wittering, Coastal village in Chichester, England
West Wittering occupies a position on the Manhood Peninsula, featuring sandy beaches and natural salt marshes along the Chichester Harbour coastline.
The Domesday Book of 1086 recorded West Wittering as a settlement of four households with ploughing lands under the leadership of Earl Roger of Shrewsbury.
The Norman church contains a medieval tomb-slab with engravings of a pastoral staff, representing ecclesiastical connections to the local heritage.
The beach provides designated areas for swimming, windsurfing, and kitesurfing activities, with direct views toward Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight.
West Wittering sits within multiple protected environmental zones, including Bracklesham Bay and Chichester Harbour Special Protection Area for wild birds.
