One of the most charming and stylish cities on the South Coast, Chichester combines all the attractions of a thriving urban centre with the rural delights of West Sussex.
One of the great well-preserved Georgian cities in the UK, Chichester has played a key role in the affairs of Sussex since at least Roman times.
The pedestrianised city centre is neatly enclosed within the ancient city walls which helps to make the city compact and pleasant to explore on foot.
Adding to Chichesterās atmosphere of elegance and sophistication is Goodwood Racecourse. One of the worldās great racecourses, with expansive views across the Downs towards the Solent, Goodwood is a picturesque gem. Even if youāre not there for the horses, there are regular concerts, the annual Festival of Speed and a beautiful mansion house to explore.
