Cathedral city and a place where culture meets quiet compassion
Chichester is West Sussex's cathedral city and one of the most civilised small cities in England. The cathedral, with its detached bell tower and its Chagall window, sits at the heart of a street plan that has barely changed since the Romans laid it out. The Market Cross, the medieval octagonal structure at the intersection of the four main streets, is one of the most elaborate in the country. Pallant House Gallery has one of the finest collections of modern British art outside London. The Festival Theatre, founded by Laurence Olivier, draws audiences from across the south. Chichester Harbour, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, provides some of the best sailing, birdwatching and coastal walking in Sussex. Bishop's Palace Gardens are a hidden gem behind the cathedral. Priory Park has open space and the remains of the Greyfriars priory. The Centurion Way, a former railway line, provides flat cycling and walking towards the Downs. Beyond the city, the villages of Bosham, West Wittering, the Lavants and Singleton are among the most attractive in the county.

Harbour walks and cathedral close for a first meeting
Chichester has some of the finest first-meeting settings in Sussex. Chichester Harbour — the walk from Bosham around the shoreline — is beautiful and unforgettable. Bishop's Palace Gardens are peaceful and central. The Centurion Way provides easy, flat walking. Pallant House Gallery and its cafe are interesting and comfortable. West Wittering beach is open and dramatic. Petworth House deer park, a short drive north, is magnificent. The Weald and Downland Living Museum at Singleton is fascinating and gives you something wonderful to share.
