Fabulous hilly walks with views over Chichester and out to sea. There is parking and signed routes at this National nature reserve. Worth googling for more information on this interesting historic area! The Hare and Hounds at Stoughton is a long walk from the car park but great if you want a country pub to aim for !

This magnificent Cathedral has stood in Chichester for over 900 years. The cathedral is open every day and entry is free. Medieval features sit alongside contemporary works of art. The Bishop's palace gardens are lovely in the summer - great for a quiet picnic - not everyone finds them. The cathedral is in the town centre and definitely worth a trip if you are visiting the shops.

The Goodwood Festival of Speed is held here each year and is a short drive from The Cowshed. The Goodwood Revival is also held here each year - if you are thinking of attending either event you need to book tickets in advance. Chichester is very busy during these events - but is also very good fun with a fantastic atmosphere. If you are attending The Revival for the first time I would recommend you google the outfits! Visitors really "go to town" with their outfits which makes it feel like you have gone back in time!

A lively restaurant and bar area. During summer 2017 there has been a DJ in the garden on a Saturday night. Cocktails and garden area as well as indoor restaurant. They serve a pre-theatre menu, including matinee performances - about a 5 minute stroll from the Festival Theatre. (It's not normally lively at pre-theatre times!) Situated in a beautiful historic building in North Street - with modern and 'cool' interior!

Nestling on the banks of Pagham Harbour Nature reserve the 350 year old Crab and Lobster restaurant features local produce and the daily catch of nearby Selsey fishermen. There is a focus on fresh fish, crab and obviously lobster! A selection of traditional english and mediterranean dishes are also available. Open fires in the winter and a terrace and beer garden in the summer. I would strongly suggest you book well in advance. Approx 20 minute drive from The Cowshed.

A well kept local secret! The Deck is about a 20 minute drive from The Cowshed. Views out over Thorney yacht marina. Park your car in the carpark on the right as you enter the yacht harbour, then walk over the little bridge towards the boats up on blocks - The Deck is upstairs in the main building. Go here for a great breakfast or lunch - worth booking ahead at weekends. Or evenings on Thursday, Friday or Saturday. Sunday lunch is also very good!... and so are the cakes !! Check out their website - delicious and a firm favourite.
