Pagham Harbour is a peaceful nature reserve and one of the few undeveloped stretches of the Sussex coast. This internationally important wetland is home to incredible wildlife, including black-tailed godwits and little egrets. Stay for sunset - it’s breathtaking!

For a scenic walk, follow Salterns Way towards Itchenor and Chichester Marina. Stop at The Ship Inn or The Quarterdeck Café for a bite to eat. From Itchenor, take the Itchenor Ferry across the water to Bosham, then enjoy a picturesque 30-minute harbour walk to the historic village, home to a Saxon church featured in the Bayeux Tapestry, charming cafés, and a waterside pub.

The historic Roman town of Chichester is 8 miles north of West Wittering. Its pedestrian-friendly centre boasts boutique shops, cafés, galleries, and Chichester Cathedral, famous for its separate bell tower, where Peregrine Falcons can often be spotted nesting.

For breathtaking panoramic views, hike to The Trundle, the highest point on the South Downs Way, offering spectacular views across Chichester Harbour. Part of the Goodwood Estate, this spot is a must-visit for walkers.

For garden lovers, West Dean Gardens on the Midhurst Road is one of England’s greatest restored gardens. Wander through the grand pergola or take a stroll in the historic Arboretum.

Just a short drive from the property, Rewild Sauna offers a one-of-a-kind wood-fired, beachside sauna experience in Bracklesham Bay.
