Selsey Bill

Selsey Bill is a headland into the English Channel on the south coast of England in the county of West Sussex.

It is the easternmost point of Bracklesham Bay and the westernmost point of the Sussex Coast. The headland is occupied by the town of Selsey.

Selsey Bill is a boundary for two areas of the Met Office's Inshore Water forecast. The area to the west extends to Lyme Regis and to the East to North Foreland.

Ælle and three of his sons are reported to have landed near what is now Selsey Bill.
