Emsworth and beyond

Emsworth is a quiet and attractive town and the gateway to Chichester Harbour. Popular with sailors, artists, bird watchers and walkers, there is something for everyone to enjoy. A walk around the town will delight you with attractive streets lined with a mixture of architectural styles and high walled gardens and stunning harbour views. In North Street, Emsworth Museum displays the history of the area and includes books, pictures, clothing, ships and models and an area devoted to P G Wodehouse who lived in Emsworth. The area has a long association with oyster fishing and in the summer trips can be taken on the last remaining oyster boat, The Terror. In 1964 Chichester Harbour was designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. During the summer months many varied activities are organised and include: introduction to bird watching for families, geology walks, photography, drawing and painting courses, kite making and exploring the shoreline for wild food.

Portsmouth, the Spinnaker Tower and Gunwharf Quays are all just a short drive away to the West, and a little further afield in the same direction are Southampton, Winchester and Salisbury. West Sussex, Arundel and Chichester are on the doorstep and the beautiful beaches at the Witterings are not to be missed.
