Overview

A beautiful summer walk in which we begin by following the canal, until we reach Chichester Harbour, a large natural harbour and designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).

Following lunch and an optional pub stop for drinks only at the Crown and Anchor, which enjoys beautiful views over the water, we continue to explore the coastline before heading back into Chichester.

Please bring a packed lunch. Optional pub at the end.

Travel: Take the 9:35 from London Victoria (Clapham Junction 9:42). Arrive at Chichester at 11:07.

Buy a return to Chichester. Meet outside the southern entrance to Chichester Railway Station.
