This walk has been cancelled

Very poor conditions underfoot with thick mud and flooding rendering much of the route impassable. To be rescheduled in the new year.

Overview

A flat walk around Chichester Harbour ,starting and finishing at the Crown and Anchor pub in Dell Quay Road. Taking the footpath along the water's edge down to the marina, through Birdham Pool, we then divert inland to have a coffee break at St Nicholas Church before heading out to the harbour again at Chalkdock. The harbourside path takes us round to Itchenor, the lunch stop before continuing back along the Salterns Way to our starting point. Expect to see migratory flocks of geese, egrets and waders  Far reaching views across the harbour towards the Downs, Chichester  cathedral and Goodwood.
