West Thorney is a village and civil parish in the Chichester district in West Sussex, England located nine kilometres (5.6 miles) west of Chichester south of the A27 road.
West Thorney is a village and civil parish on Thorney Island, the southern part of a peninsula of land between two arms of Chichester Harbour, separated from the mainland by a channel called the Great Deep. Just to the south is the smaller Pilsey Island, a haven for birds. The island was a World War II airfield RAF Thorney Island which remained in use until 1976. Since 1982 the base has been used by the Royal Artillery. Only the church and coastal footpath are open to the public.[3] It is necessary to give one's name and address by intercom to be allowed through remotely controlled gates.[4]
The parish has a land area of 1,223 hectares (3,020 acres). In the 2001 census 1079 people lived in 217 households, of whom 679 were economically active.[1] At the 2011 Census the population was 1,183.[2]
