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

This walk takes in the area around Chichester Harbour, covering the villages of Dell Quay, Birdham, West Itchenor, Bosham and Fishbourne. It also includes a ferry crossing from West Itchenor to Bosham which costs £3 per person. There will be shoreline views most of the way, showing yachts sailing in the harbour and some beautiful wooded areas offering photographic opportunities across the water. The walk is completely flat and includes some road and countryside walking.
The parking at Dell Quay is along the length of the road, which has been improved recently. Please car share if possible. At the end of the walk, there will be the opportunity to stop for a cold drink at The Crown & Anchor on the terrace overlooking the sea.
This will be a leisurely but long walk. There will be the opportunity to take more stops than normal, if needed.
Bring a picnic or use the cafe/pub facilities at West Itchenor and Bosham. Make sure to have ample water and suntan lotion. There are toilet facilities at Chichester Marina (Birdham), West Itchenor and Bosham. No dogs.
Park at the side of Dell Quay Road. If it is a good sailing day, it will get busy so take the first parking place you find and then walk down to the Crown & Anchor to meet up.
