Reviews
"Always a beautiful place to visit"
"Our favourite beach walk is around East Head and then beside the harbour towards Itchenor. Chichester Harbour is a 3,700 hectare (9,220 acre) biological and geological Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI)."
"Great place to visit for anyone that is in to boats or just to have a look. Visited here many time over the years and is worth a visit. Usually just wander around the harbour it’s self but this time found a 4 mile walk along the water down to Dell Quay and back through the fields. Nice views along the way and even came across a farm selling free range eggs so recommended you have £1.75 in your pocket incase you find yourself walking past. There are even photo posts along the way to take selfies with the amazing views."
"A beautiful walk around Bosham - just remember to check the tide times and time your walk accordingly. Beautiful views across the harbour and lovely cafes to have a bite to eat after. You can even catch a ferry across to Itchenor."
"My favourite place in the area, an amazing harbour. Loads of places to walk with fantastic views. If sailing is your thing then there are many clubs and launching sites. Stunning views and wildlife galore."
