Pagham walk on 15th July 2026

We met up earlier than normal at the RSPB car park at Church Norton next to the unconsecrated Chapel and extensive graveyard before heading off on the King Charles III coast path to the edge of the bird sanctuary. Turning right took us onto the pebble path and beach where we walked east to the spit in bright sunshine but before it got too hot. We then retraced our steps back along the beach, encountering some early sunbathers before stopping for our coffee break by the first coastal defence barrier. A couple of brave walkers had come prepared in swim suits and refreshed themselves in the sea. Continuing west past the coastal residences, some of which were repurposed old railway carriages, we headed to East Beach where we turned inland to Park Farm and onto the footpath through fields and onto Greenlease Farm to admire the collection of vehicles and talk to some drone pilots. Returning to the car park, we drove up to The Anchor Inn at Sidlesham for lunch.

All together at Church Norton

Not sure which way to turn on these paths

Strung out on the pebbles

Nearing the spit

The point of return

We’re sure we’ve been here before

Sea cabbage, no salt needed

Coffee break

…but some of us took the wrong path

A beach house being ironic

The 8:15 from Chichester may be delayed
