Chichester Harbour walk on 17th September 2025

Celia and Miguel gathered us together at the Chichester Marina car park for the start of our 4.1 mile walk around the north bank of the marina following the Saltern Way Cycle path through Salterns Copse, then onto the open fields passing wild flower strips at their edges.  On reaching Dell Quay road, we waited for a school bus to unload before walking down to the quay and having our coffee break sitting on the quay wall.  We retraced our steps a short way to take the Chichester Channel bank path with great views across the channel back to the marina where we crossed the lock and followed the canal edge back to the vehicles.  A short drive to the Woolpack at Fishbourne took us to our excellent lunch.
