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

This walk starts from St James Church, Birdham heading down Westlands Lane through the village to the shoreline for a stretch, then turns off across fields to Shipton Green and onwards towards West Wittering. A final bit of pavement walking takes us to the Landing Cafe for a coffee break, either in the cafe or on the Green, where there are plenty of seats. Continuing from here, the route follows the coast to West Itchenor where we stop for lunch. There are the options of cafe, pub or picnic here, looking across the bay to Bosham. The final length offers the opportunity to see a mother elephant and baby (?), while walking close to the shore and hopefully gives the chance to view yachts in the harbour and a variety of marine birds. This segment take us close to Birdham Pool Marina before turning away from the sea back to the church.
There are toilet facilities at both West Wittering and West Itchenor. No dogs.
The start point for the walk is the church which has limited parking, especially on a Sunday. There is roadside parking in Crooked Lane, Birdham - follow Church Lane (one way road that the church is situated on) to a T junction, turn right or left and there is roadside parking either direction.
