Chichester Harbour

Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

The harbour is one the few remaining undeveloped coastal areas in Southern England. Bright wide expanses and intricate creeks are at the same time a major wildlife haven and among some of Britain's most popular boating waters.

Just a few miles from the city of Chichester, the harbour is a great place to visit with opportunities for land and water based recreation. Whether you are a bird watcher, dinghy sailor, walker or just seek a quiet drink with a view then you will enjoy visiting Chichester Harbour.

To visit the harbour in a sustainable way, see www.conservancy.co.uk for ideas of walks or try out the Salterns Way cycle route. The route starts in Chichester and winds through the countryside ending at the beach at West Wittering.

Visitors can see the harbour from the water by joining one of the organised boat trips, these include the solar-powered catamaran Solar Heritage or vintage oyster boat Terror. In addition the Conservancy arranges a year-round programme of guided walks and activities with events for all ages and abilities.
