Manhood Peninsula Partnership Caring for Chichester’s Coastal Communities. The Manhood Peninsula Partnership was inspired by local residents to promote a sustainable way forward for addressing the environmental, social and economic challenges posed to the area by climate change.
Manhood Peninsula Partnership Coastal Management A large part of the Manhood is less than 5m above sea level and at risk from flooding, both inland and coastal. It is likely that climate change will increase this risk, through rising sea levels, rising water tables and increased precipitation intensity. Drainage is an increasing problem in the Manhood as the existing ditches are proving inadequate to handle increased run-off resulting from recent development and heavier rainfall. Plans...
Manhood Peninsula Partnership Climate Change The Manhood Peninsula is particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change including rising sea levels, rising water table, and more intense precipitation.

The Parish of North Mundham is a largely agricultural and horticultural area south of Chichester. It is comprised of a scatter of small villages and hamlets, namely the three villages of North Mundham, South Mundham and Runcton and the hamlets of Bowley and Fisher.

Pagham Rife runs through the village of Runcton and for centuries powered Runcton Mill. The Rife eventually joins Pagham Harbour Nature Reserve, an area known for birds and wildlife. There are no roads leading directly to the sea in the Parish of North Mundham, but there is an extensive network of footpaths and bridleways putting you in easy reach of Pagham Harbour using transport other than the car.
