Aldwick

Aldwick sits on the south coast in the Arun district of West Sussex, immediately west of the Bognor Regis town centre. The area is largely residential, with a mixture of interwar terraces, postwar housing and newer infill developments lining streets that run down to the seafront. A small local centre along Aldwick Road contains shops, cafés, a primary school and a parish church, serving day‑to‑day needs. Local lanes give access to playing fields, allotments and pockets of open space that break the housing pattern.

The coast here is Aldwick Bay, where a continuous promenade runs above a shingle and sand beach. A low concrete sea wall and a regular sequence of timber groynes extend into the channel, visible at most states of tide and shaping the beach profile. Footpaths along the front link to residential streets and seafront houses, while community groups use the green spaces behind the promenade for seasonal events and informal sport. The combination of shoreline structures and short walks from the housing makes the seafront a frequent part of everyday life in Aldwick.
