버드햄 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Lovely place for walk, bike ride or even boat trip or going on rowing boats.

In the case of a "market cross," such as the one we encounter once again in the center of Chichester, one would have to ask the fundamental question of whether it is actually primarily a small sacred monument—as its cross shape suggests—or whether it is more of a secular object. In times long past, such a cross—unlike the classic wayside crosses or field crosses—was only allowed to be erected on site if the locality in question also possessed so-called "market rights"—that is, if it had been granted a corresponding privilege by the local ruler.

This lock is between Chichester Harbour and the Portsmouth to Arundel Canal

From this basin at the border of Chichester city centre the Chichester Canal takes its course to the see. It's a nice place for a short stay also with some beautiful art installations.

It's not only the market cross. Only about 100 yards from here you find the impressive cathedral with adjacent monastery - worth a visit. And across the dtreet from the cathedral in another former church you find the pleasant "The Duke's" Pub.

This ferry was the highlight of my ride, approaching from the north you have to dismount and walk a short track (100m or so), the tide was out so you have to follow the path that winds out towards the water, there is a green stick, wait there and quickly the ferry will appear. You can take bikes and also you can pay by card, 2025 and it's still £3.50 for adult and bike!

Very relaxing walk along the canal.

A mighty cathedral with an adjoining monastery marks the center of the small town of Chichester.
