Chichester Harbour is one of the most beautiful harbours in England. Designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), it has been voted as one of the best places to visit in the UK by Lonely Planet.
Chichester Cathedral is full of history art and intrigue and there is no better way to see it than with the expert Cathedral guides. The Cathedral is particularly renowned for its modern artworks, including important pieces by John Piper, Graham Sutherland and Marc Chagall. Many of these were commissioned by Dean Walter Hussey, a great patron of the arts, during his time in office from 1955-77. As well as the general tours specialist tours of the art and stained glass are available.
Join an experienced guide on a leisurely walk around the centre of the City and learn about the history of some of the main buildings in the four principle streets and in some of the quieter side roads.
Experience riding an ebike from the Horse & Groom across the beautiful harbour landscape to arrive at one of England's best beaches or up and over the South Downs towards South Harting.

Join local ornithologist Hugh Baggaley for a guided walk around the Harbour at Bosham ( a five minute drive from the Horse & Groom) to discover the remarkable array of birds found here. On the walk you will learn how to find and identify different species, as well as learn about their lives and habits. Chichester Harbour is an internationally important site for wintering wetland birds including waders, ducks and geese. Many migratory birds also stop off here on their travels, owing to the position on the south coast. The walk is suitable for all levels of knowledge, and no prior experience is required.

We couldn’t be prouder to be featured in the Michelin Guide for 2022. Here’s what they say about the Horse & Groom…

Assured, modern dishes range from pub classics to more creative combinations. Well-appointed bedrooms complete the picture.”

We are lucky enough to be right on the edge of the South Downs National Park with some of the finest walking and cycling in the country. It is possible to walk or ride to Goodwood, West Dean, Stoughton or Uppark without barely crossing a road.
