Chichester

The City of Chichester is a truly cultural experience dominated by the impressive cathedral, with its spire towering over the Sussex plain, and home to the internationally renowned Chichester Festival Theatre. To the north of the district lie the historic market towns of Midhurst and Petworth set amid the South Downs. The Coast combines the ambience of Chichester Harbour with long stretches of beaches. You can take a trip along Chichester Canal or join the birdwatchers at Pagham Harbour Nature Reserve. The coastal region is particularly well served with camping and caravanning sites, as well as guesthouses and self-catering establishments. The varied countryside encompasses Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, national nature reserves and the breathtaking South Downs.
