Chichester in General

Chichester has something for everyone. I have lived in/near Chichester all my life and really like it. Chichester is situated in between Portsmouth and Brighton on the south coast. The Cathedral is a sight and currently has peregian falcon living in the roof. Chichester is a beautiful city although quite small. The city center is set out like a cross with a wide range of shops, bars and resurants down each street. One of the nicest carvery's ever is at The Nags Head at the end of east street-well worth a visit. The best pub for live music is The Fountain in South street. In the summer there are various areas to catch the rays. ...  Read the complete review

Having lived and worked in Chichester (or nearby) for the last 20 odd years, I think I now know the place well enough to write a half decent review on it's main sights and attractions. For those of you unfamiliar with the name, Chichester is a town situated in West Sussex on the south coast of England. It's an elegant and historic town with some lovely examples of Georgian architecture and there's plenty to see and do. The main landmark is Chichester Cathedral (more on that later), which is over 1,000 years old and whose spire can be seen from many miles away. I'd describe Chichester as a rather elegant town, but you do need to know the place fairly well ...  Read the complete review

Chichester is a Cathedral City in West Sussex. It is not a big city and the main landmark is the Cathedral which is more than a 1000 years old. The roman walls formed the parameter of the city center. A stroll along the walls is a peaceful and delightful experience. In the center of the city is the Chichester Cross. The Chichester Cross is the intersection point of the city center, dividing the center into 3 section, the North Street, South Street and East Street. The Cross is an historical structure that was built in the 15th century. A big part of this street is paved for pedestrians only. Many well known High Street retailers like ...  Read the complete review

The fact is, only a tiny proportion of the population has ever been to this rather small and insignificant cathedral city, but somehow you could ask anybody about their impression of the county town of West Sussex, and they will immediately evoke the image of shaded cathedral cloisters, middle-class prep school mothers, and imitation historic street paving laid expensively between attractive old buildings (you get the picture).... When one discovers some element of truth in this perception on their first actual visit to this southwest corner of Sussex (effectively cut-off from London by the South Downs), and glimpses for the first time the famous market cross, it seems ...  Read the complete review

Chichester in West Sussex is a really nice place to visit if you want a few days away. You can relax on the beach, wander around the harbour or take in the many sights on offer; it is after all the home of the Chichester Festival Theatre and has a beautiful cathedral. The Romans founded Chichester in Ad 43 not long after their invasion and it is the county town of West Sussex. The circular Walls Walk is an interesting amble you can just seep up the two thousand years of heritage and get some really classic sights of the city. The cathedrals spire can be seen from miles away it was built in 1108 and is the site of the shrine of St Richard. Well worth a ...  Read the complete review
