Clymping (also spelt 'Climping') is a civil parish containing agricultural and natural sandy land around the hamlet of Clymping in the Arun District of West Sussex, England. The parish also contains the coastal hamlet of Atherington. It is three miles (5 km) west of Littlehampton, just north of the A259 road.

Amenities

The parish church, dedicated to St Mary, dates from 1080, and is teamed with those of Yapton and Ford under one vicar. There is a canonical sundial, dating from the 12th century, on the south wall.

Fringing the coast towards the River Arun and Littlehampton are the Clymping sand dunes, a Site of Special Scientific Interest, which includes areas of rare vegetated shingle.

A windmill here predates the mid-18th century and survives, unused for wind power, bereft of its sails but kept up and lived in.
