Bosham is a lovely, picturesque, village located in Chichester Harbour. It is famous for where King Canute tried to hold back the tide and also features in the Bayeux Tapestry! Bosham Harbour and Saxon church are only a short walk away - there are cafes, an arts and crafts centre and a pretty pub both overlooking the water. The Roman town of Chichester is 5 miles east of Bosham and its pedestrian centre is home to boutique shops, cafes, restaurants, galleries and The Chichester Cathedral with its unique separate bell tower. Bird watchers might spot the Peregrine Falcons nesting in the tower. The Itchenor ferry can be caught from the southerly most point in Bosham - follow Shore Road and the signs - parking is available or it is a pleasant 30 minute walk around the harbour's edge - the ferry will take you across the water to the historic sailing village of Itchenor. From Itchenor you can walk along the Salterns Way to West Wittering Beach - or just stop for a bite to eat in The Ship Inn or the Quarterdeck Cafe. Emsworth is a delightful town, well worth a visit with its many small shops and cafes, as well as a lovely walk around the Emsworth Pond. Only 5 miles away towards Portsmouth. West Wittering beach is a beautiful, sandy, blue flag beach and is in a Site of Special Scientific Interest. It is largely undeveloped retaining its natural beauty and there is plenty of parking. It is perfect for walkers, swimmers, paddle boards and kite surfers. The Trundle is the highest point on the South Downs Way, part of the South Downs National Park, with spectacular views across Chichester Harbour and is part of the famous Goodwood Estate.
