The PO10 postcode is in the north of the county of West Sussex, in the south-east of England. It covers the area around the town of Emsworth, located south of the city of Chichester.

The area is mostly rural in nature, with a scattering of small deciduous woodland, and a mix of sand, chalk and clay resulting in a predominance of heathland, grassland and arable land. However, the coastline along the area is popular with sailors, with a number of sailing clubs in the area. The Emsworth Marina is a well known spot, and offers moorings, boat hire, and other boating facilities.

The PO10 postcode is split into three parts, with the local council area of Havant stretching along the coastline. The council area of Chichester is located to the north of PO10, with many villages located throughout the area. The local secondary school is Warblington School, which is fed by several primary schools.

In terms of culture, Emsworth is home to many interesting traditional pubs, as well as a number of independent cafes, restaurants, and retail outlets. The area is also home to the House in the Clouds, a wooden-framed house that was built on the top of a water tower during the Second World War in an attempt to confuse German bombers.

In terms of transport links, the area is well served by a number of local buses, and has a railway station with direct connections to Portsmouth and other neighbouring locations. The A27 runs through the centre of the postcode, connecting Emsworth to other locations in the South East.

For leisure, the Harbour Park in Emsworth is a popular spot, and offers a range of activities, such as a Putting Green, Archery range, Adventure Play area and Crazy Golf. There are also a number of cycling paths in the surrounding countryside, and many walking routes, including along the coastline and through the South Downs National Park.
