Chichester Harbour National Landscape
Chichester Harbour National Landscape is a natural harbour providing one of the most important habitats for wildlife in the UK. The area hosts some outstanding shoreline walks passing boatyards, beaches, attractive villages, marinas, pools, mudflats, meadows and farmland. Along the way you will spot a wealth of marine life including a vast number of seabirds and perhaps even a seal or two. Below is our current collection of family-friendly walks in the area.
