Coldwaltham is a village in Sussex. It is divided in two by the A29 road and stands two and a half miles south-west of Pulborough, which has a railway station on the Arun Valley Line. The 2011 Census population included the village of Hardham plus hamlet of Watersfield.

The parish church, St Giles, is of the 13th century. A rare 11th century gravestone and a simple Saxon font are found there. A yew tree near the north-west corner is among the oldest in Britain; believed to be over 3,000 years old.[1]

There is one pub, the Labouring Man. Sandham Hall is used for village events.
