Whether you are exploring the South Downs, enjoying the scenic coastal villages and harbour, or immersing yourself in the culture, arts and heritage of the area, the cathedral city of Chichester and its surroundings offers visitors a unique experience.
Chichester Cathedral’s spire towers over the Sussex plain and can be seen for miles around. The cathedral itself was dedicated in 1108 and is the site of the shrine of St Richard. Second only to this great landmark is the Tudor Market Cross which stands at the centre of the city’s four main Georgian shopping streets.
For those who enjoy the arts, Chichester is home to the internationally renowned Chichester Festival Theatre as well as Pallant House Gallery, home to one of the best permanent coillections of British Modern Art in the country.
To the west are Fishbourne Roman Palace, which houses stunning mosaics and the Edwardian stately grandeur of Stansted House. To the east is Tangmere Military Aviation Museum which displays incredible aviation memorabilia especially from the ‘Battle of Britain’, and just to the north is Goodwood House with its recreated Egyptian Dining Room and State Apartments.
