In and Around Chichester
There's so much to see and do here in the city of Chichester. We're minutes from the coast, yet just over an hour from London. The city sits within easy reach of the wonderful walking on the South Downs and there's far more to the place than the excess of Roman place names will have you believe. Here's our guide to some of the best bits of Chichester and the surrounding area.
The 19th Chichester International Film Festival
The 19th Chichester International Film Festival runs from August 19th until September 5th.

West Wittering Beach
The most popular beach in the area on a warm summer’s weekend (it's the best (and one of the few) sandy beaches in the area). As they say on their website:
"Offering wonderful views of Chichester Harbour and the South Downs beyond, the natural and unspoilt sandy beach of West Wittering has been a favourite destination for a family day out for generations. The highest water quality and excellent facilities have made it one of the premier Blue Flag beaches in the country. The extensive acres of neatly mown grass close to the beach are perfect for parking, and picnics. The sea is popular with wind and kite surfers, while shallow lagoons are left on extensive sandy flats at low tide. The whole area is internationally recognised for its wildlife, birds and unique beauty." Get there early to avoid the heaving traffic jams
