Chichester Harbour National Landscape

Living beside Chichester Harbour

Sailing, walking, wildlife and everyday life beside Chichester Harbour from Highclear on the Chidham Peninsula.

Harbour life without losing everyday connections.

Chichester Harbour is a protected landscape of tidal creeks, mudflats, saltmarsh, fields and open skies. Highclear sits on the Chidham Peninsula, where the changing water, birdlife and weather are part of daily life rather than a view reserved for weekends.

Walking

The King Charles III England Coast Path forms part of the local walking network. Circular routes around Chidham and neighbouring peninsulas combine shoreline, farmland and village lanes, with access close to the house.

Sailing and watersports

Chichester Harbour supports sailing, kayaking, paddleboarding and wingfoiling, with clubs, launching points and moorings around the harbour. Highclear’s heated boot room, wet room and practical storage suit a household that spends time on or beside the water.

A protected environment

The harbour includes nationally and internationally protected habitats. Living here means enjoying the landscape while respecting its wildlife, tides, footpaths and working harbour communities.
