Chichester Harbour Hiking Trail
Entrance via Thorney Rd,
Southbourne - Between Portsmouth and Chichester,
Emsworth.
PO10 8BN
chichester harbour
The quiet, scenic routes will overload your senses with constant coastal vistas and wildlife, making this one of the South's best-kept secret hiking routes. This well-crafted off-road path will guide you around the perimeter of the Chidham Peninsula, with an additional loop around the top of the harbour.
The route is timed to coincide with low tide, as it includes a small section of the foreshore, providing a unique hiking experience. The flat nature of the course makes it perfect for an early-season hike.
Regardless of experience or ability, we actively encourage new participants to our events, and there are two route distances to choose from.
At the finish line, you will receive a well-deserved high-quality metal medal, finisher's gift, and a refreshing drink to celebrate your achievement!
Also, why not treat yourself to something from our Merch tent after your memorable hike? We have plenty of products to choose from.
