Overview

This is a linear walk from Bosham to Chichester. The paths around Bosham flood at high tide which is why a flexible approach may be necessary. Hopefully it will be low tide and we will be able to follow the beach to the Itchenor Ferry ( cost £3). The alternative walk is by country lane. On the itchenor side, the walk is straightforward, a mix of country lanes, woodland and farm tracks lead us back along the coast to Chichester railway station. There are toilets in Bosham, Itchenor, Birdham. We will stop for a short BYO coffee stop at Itchenor and the lunch stop will be at Birdham Marina where there is two cafes. This is a completely flat walk with good paths. It is exposed so bring water and sun protection and check website on the day in case of cancellation or difficulty with trains, If you wish to drive to this walk, parking is free at Bosham station and there are trains and buses back from Chichester
The train is 9.28 from Brighton cost £12.15 with railcard changing at Barnham and arriving at Bosham at 10.44. If you are not travelling on this train, please let the leader know you are coming by text.
