The historic Roman town of Chichester is just 5 miles east of Funtington. Its pedestrian-friendly centre is home to boutique shops, cafés, galleries, and Chichester Cathedral, famous for its separate bell tower, where bird watchers might spot nesting Peregrine Falcons.
West Wittering Beach is a stunning sandy Blue Flag beach and a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest. Largely undeveloped, it retains its natural beauty, making it perfect for walkers, swimmers, paddleboarders, and kite surfers. Ample parking is available.
For breathtaking panoramic views, hike to The Trundle, the highest point on the South Downs Way, offering spectacular vistas across Chichester Harbour. It’s part of the famous Goodwood Estate, known for its motorsports and horse racing events.
Garden lovers will enjoy West Dean Gardens, one of England’s greatest restored gardens. Wander along the grand pergola or explore the historic Arboretum.
Right next door, the Weald & Downland Living Museum showcases beautifully reconstructed historic buildings, set in stunning downland countryside. It’s a fascinating glimpse into Sussex’s rural past.
