Places to Visit
- Come aboard the HMS Victory. The oldest commissioned warship in the world was Nelson’s flagship during the famous Battle of Trafalgar and is a 30 minute drive from Chichester. The ship played an integral part in an important period of British history and remains an extremely impressive sight.
- The rich naval history of Chichester is encapsulated within the Royal Navy Submarine Museum. The museum offers many unique experiences, from the chance to board the very first Royal Navy Submarine to the newly restored HMS alliance; the interactive and immersive nature of this museum makes it a great day out for the whole family.
- For nearly 1000 years the Chichester Cathedral has been a dominant fixture of the surrounding landscape. It is considered an excellent example of what a typical English Cathedral looks like and, as such, is an important part of the heritage of not only Chichester but the country itself. The site offers visitors the chance to see two rare medieval sculptures as well as a selection of modern art ranging from tapestries to stained glass.
- Beautiful, peaceful and memorable: the Bishops Palace Garden has been a fixture of the Chichester area for 800 years and the palace that remains acts as a stunning reminder of medieval architecture. The gardens themselves are a pleasure to walk through and contain a wide range of well-kept plants and flowers.
