Welcome to the Conservancy's year round Programme of Walks, Activities and Boat Trips. This can be viewed in our monthly calendar. If you would like a monthly listing sent to you by e-mail please sign up to our eNewsletter service.
The walks and activities give you a chance to learn more about this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in an informal setting. We walk most areas of the harbour and cover a wide range of interests. We are sure you will find something suitable.
All guided walks and activities are sponsored by the Chichester Harbour Conservancy and are free of charge unless stated. However, donations are welcome to the Friends of Chichester Harbour, the charity linked to the Conservancy with all monies going towards environmental projects.
An annual walking festival including walks in Chichester and Langstone Harbours. The 2011 Festival was held on 3-6 May. A selection of photographs taken during the 2011 Festival are available on Flickr.

Children are welcome but must be accompanied by a responsible adult, you should consider the suitability of some walks with respect to the time and length involved.
Dogs may come along on all walks other than the bird walks. However, the dog may need to be kept on a lead at all times. On long walks please bring a dish and water for your dog.
Please dress appropriately for each session. Even on dry summer days some paths may be wet and muddy due to the tides. In winter consider all slopes and wooden surfaces very slippery. On hot days bring plenty of water with you. On long walks carry your things in a rucksack, not a shoulder bag.

Parking is on the roadside - please walk down to the quay, disabled badge holders may park on the quay next to the Centre by prior arrangement with the Harbour Office. Map and directions.
