Rail and road connections

Nutbourne station is around an eight-minute walk from Highclear. Rail services connect towards Chichester, Portsmouth and London, including direct London trains. Local buses stop close to the end of Cot Lane. Chichester and Emsworth provide broader shopping, restaurants, culture and services.

Bosham, the coast and Goodwood

Bosham is the neighbouring harbour village, while the beaches of the south coast lie beyond Chichester. Goodwood’s motor-racing, aviation and equestrian events are part of the wider Chichester area. Highclear offers an alternative to Bosham or Itchenor for buyers who value modern space, village life and rail access as well as the harbour.
