The picturesque village of Bosham is one of the most historic villages in West Sussex. There are a number of local shops as well as a gallery in the old village centre, together with the Anchor Bleu public house and a short walk along Bosham Lane brings the visitor to the Millstream Hotel. The village also has an ancient Saxon church with Quay Meadow just a short walk from the high street where Bosham Sailing Club can be found. Bosham also has its own arts and crafts centre. To the north of the village there is a local convenience store together with a collection of further local shops and Bosham train station providing services running to London Victoria via Chichester or London Waterloo via Havant.

The cathedral city of Chichester lies some six miles to the east and provides a comprehensive range of facilities arranged around a partly pedestrianised centre. Recreational activities include the Chichester Festival and Minerva Theatres and the award winning Pallant House Gallery.
