Cote (also Walcote[1] or Coate[2]) was a hamlet in the former parish of Durrington, West Sussex (now a suburb of Worthing), England.

[1] "Cote" comes from the Old English word for a dwelling or home (not strictly a cottage), and is widespread in place names in Sussex.

[25][26][27] By May 1952, Cote Bottom was supporting wildlife, which in turn was attracting interest, and reporting on it was Dr A. H. Murch,[nb 2] "whose bird life films [were] well known".

[28] In 1952, Cote Bottom was described in the Worthing Herald as a district of High Salvington, when seventeen acres of land were offered for hay-cutting.

[30] The Bird Sanctuary is now protected as a Site of Nature Conservation Importance (SNCI) and as part of South Downs National Park.

Meadow Clary Salvia pratensis, a Red Data Book species, occurs here in one of only two sites in West Sussex ...

[31] In 1948, Upper Cote was mentioned in the Worthing Herald newspaper, confirming that the village name existed at that time.
