Around Emsworth Harbour
Recommended by
Our view
"Explore changing tides and fortunes on this breezy walk along Chichester Harbour's foreshore between Emsworth and Langstone."
Walk directions
Turn right out of the car park and walk down South Street past the Blue Bell pub to the Quay. Keep ahead to join the tarmac path that follows the causeway round the Mill Pond, adjacent to the main harbour. Pass a jetty on the left.
Pass beside Emsworth Sailing Club (on your left) and keep straight on to join a concrete path above the shoreline, with houses and gardens to your right. The track broadens into Western Parade. Go through a gap at the end, to stay on the coastal path. Pass a small parking area and continue on the tarmac path, which has become narrow again.
