Connect Chichester with Slow Ways
We’re creating a network of walking routes that connect all of Britain’s towns, cities and national parks
more walks and reviews are needed to fully connect Chichester to the verified network. Can you give a hike and help?

Slow Ways linking Chichester and Bognor Regis, Emsworth, Midhurst, Selsey, Westergate

Chichester’s five Slow Ways are 65% checked
Help connect Chichester
Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Chichester’s Slow Ways.

Walk this routeA rather lovely route which incorporates several sections walking beside the shore of Chichester Harbour....

Walk this routeThe stretch along Vinnetrow Rd requires walking down a fast road with a blind bend and no pavement....

From Aldwick, the route strikes out across country along field paths through South and North Mundham. I agree with the previous reviewer, the ideal Slow Way from Chichester to Bognor would be to use SELCHI One from Chi to South Mundham, then pick up this route CHIBOG One from South Mundham to Bognor....
Bostal Boy
The only other thing I would add is that there is a good bus service (Bus no 51) to either get to Selsey to start the walk or to get back to Chichester from Selsey depending on which way you choose to walk....

It also parallels the Chichester Cathedral Mini Pilgrimage from Bosham to Chichester which can be found on the British Pilgrimage Trust website....

You leave Chichester by following the canal south to Hunston. The path splits with one path going due south towards the North Wall on Pagham Harbour. The Sel-Chi path heads south west towards Halsey Farm....
Geoff Conway
It is better to follow the canal into (or out) of Chichester from Hunston, following the initial part of the route to Selsey (SelChi) rather than through Whyke. It makes for a nicer route into/out of the city than using residential streets....

Unpleasant walking on busy roads south of Goodwood Triangle carpark SU87951134. There are much quieter routes into Chichester on the other side of the Trundle...

Walk this routeThis route follows the Chichester Harbour coastal footpath as much as possible, with lovely views of the harbour inlets. The footpath at Fishbourne is tidal at peak high tides....

A really quiet route from Chichester to Selsey which keeps well away from the major roads that cross this area. From Hunston the route follows farm tracks and little-used lanes through wide open fields past South Mundham to the edge of Pagham Harbour at Sidlesham Quay....
Bostal Boy
This is followed by a section walking along Vinnetrow Road which is a busy rat run with no pavements and very narrow verges. A short section walking alongside the busy road seems to be unavoidable on the current route....
Bostal Boy
As for the route, we struggled to find the connection between Dallaway Road and Whyke Road. Other than this the routemap was roughly accurate (apart from the weird diversion up Palmer Place, which we ignored!) Overall, we found the route to be a quick and quiet way to get from Chichester to Bognor, so in that respect it succeeds :) (i took pics but can't get them from phone to laptop and can't login to site from phone for some reason - not recognising the password and Chrome password saving isn't working either)....
