Activity itinerary

Chichester Cathedral (Pass by)

Step into nearly 1,000 years of English history as you begin your exploration of Chichester Cathedral. You'll learn to decode Norman arches, Gothic vaults, and carved stone figures, uncovering how invasions, kings, saints, and pilgrimage shaped this remarkable building.

Chichester Cross (Pass by)

Marvel at this elaborate octagonal market cross standing at the meeting point of Chichester's four high streets. Built around 1501 by Bishop Edward Story, it once let poorer traders sell their goods for free provided they stood beneath its arches.

Pallant House Gallery (Pass by)

Explore this striking combination of a Grade I listed Queen Anne townhouse and an award-winning contemporary extension. The gallery houses one of the best collections of 20th-century British art in the world, founded on works left to the city by Walter Hussey in 1977.

The Novium Museum (Pass by)

Walk through a museum built directly over the remains of Chichester's Roman bath house, discovered decades earlier beneath the city streets. Enjoy exhibits spanning prehistory to the present day, with the ancient baths visible right beneath your feet.

Chichester Canal (Pass by)

Stroll along the peaceful towpath of this historic waterway, opened in 1822 and running 3.8 miles from the sea at Birdham on Chichester Harbour to Chichester. Enjoy views back towards the cathedral that inspired J.M.W. Turner's famous 1828 painting of the same scene.

Fishbourne Roman Palace & Gardens (Pass by)

Explore the largest known Roman residence north of the Alps, dating to around 75 AD, with its intricate mosaic floors still preserved in place. Marvel at the celebrated Cupid on a Dolphin mosaic, one of the finest examples of Roman decorative art found in Britain.

Chichester Harbour (Pass by)

Enjoy sweeping views across this large natural harbour designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the West Sussex coast. Spot wading birds and seals among the tidal creeks and saltmarsh that make this one of the south coast's most treasured wildlife havens.
