Green Door Centre

If you'd like to take an excursion into the Chichester Harbour Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a good place to start is Bosham Quay (half an hour’s walk/five minutes’ drive), where you can pick up the lovely Chichester Coastal Walk, launch paddleboards and kayaks or just settle in a waterside pub. For other outdoorsy days nearby, try a bit of birdwatching at RSPB Pagham Harbour (15 minutes’ drive), head north for walks in the South Downs National Park (10 minutes) or venture down to the south coast for days on the beach – the sand dunes of West Wittering and fossil-hunting hotspot Bracklesham Bay are both within a 20-minute drive. Urban times aren’t far off, either – Green Door Centre is between Chichester and Portsmouth, with bus services running to both from the village. For something a bit different, check out what’s on at Goodwood (15 minutes) – the estate runs all sorts of car and driving events, along with horse racing and vintage-themed events.
