This short and easy walk allows families to explore the Iron Age hillfort of The Trundle. You can enjoy fantastic views across the landscape as far as the English Channel and directly over Goodwood Race Course. As an optional extra, you can follow our route down to Singleton where you will find a pub and play area.

Medmerry Nature Reserve sits to the west of Selsey and provides a haven for coastal wildlife. There are beautiful views, hundreds of birds and miles of footpaths and cycle paths. A new addition is The Periwinkle Sculpture.

Pagham Harbour is a nature reserve on one of the few undeveloped stretches of the Sussex coastline. It is a wildlife haven and contains important habitats for birds and even seals! Our walk also includes a large, quiet shingle beach.

Wildham Wood is situated just east of the beautiful village of Stoughton in spectacular West Sussex countryside. Although the area is popular with cyclists and walkers, the woods have a wonderfully isolated atmosphere. In May the forest floor is thick with wild garlic and bluebells creating one of nature’s most breath-taking scenes.

A walk around the Chidham peninsula is well worth the effort due to its central position in The Chichester Harbour Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. But, if the full 8km walk is too much for your family, we have provided details of some shorter options that won’t compromise on the views.

I think this has to be our favourite bluebell walk. The flowers grow in their thousands in this little wood and our walk here on a sunny spring evening was simply delightful. Come in season and you won’t be disappointed.
