We are the Guildford Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

Starting from Emsworth, we make our way through the town to Thorney Island which is effectively a peninsula that juts into Chichester harbour. It is separated from the mainland by a narrow channel called the Great Deep. The island is great for wildlife especially the southern tip which is an RSPB nature reserve, so great for bird and wildlife spotters. There are no stiles and dogs are very welcome.
Please bring a picnic lunch, snacks and drinks. The footpath has just recently reopened following flood damage in October 2023
There are many places to eat and drink in Emsworth, but no facilities on Thorney Island. Parking is on-street in Beach Road Emsworth.
Southern end of Beach Road. There is usually plenty of free on-street parking. Travel time from Guildford Cathedral is 40 minutes.
