RSPB Pagham Harbour Local Nature Reserve, Selsey Rd, Chichester PO20 7NE
What's Here
Pagham Harbour is a glorious and peaceful nature reserve, one of the few undeveloped stretches of the Sussex coast just a short train, bus or car journey away from Chichester. This sheltered inlet is an internationally important wetland site for wildlife. In spring months you'll spot a range of waders and wildfowl possibly including curlews, grey plovers, bar-tailed and black-tailed godwits, dunlins, pintails, wigeons, teals and brent geese. As the weather warms smaller migrants arrive, such as sedge, reed and willow warblers, blackcaps and chiffchaffs singing loudly in the bushes as wheatears hop about the beach.
As well as being a haven for wildlife, Pagham Harbour is a walker’s paradise with miles of footpaths and beautiful open countryside to get away from the hustle and bustle of modern life. A walk to the beach on a clear day is rewarded with views of Beachy Head to the east and the Isle of Wight to the west, while on a blustery day it’s a great way to blow away the cobwebs and clear your mind. Pagham Harbour is also a great day out for all the family. Their Discovery Trail (short route) is suitable for buggies, and they have free self-guided activity sheets available every day all year round.
With a chequered and varied past you may even find the remains of the areas history including the last tidal mill, an 11th Century Norman ringwork castle, the Selsey Tramway which ran between Chichester and Selsey from 1897-1935 and many stories of smugglers and the Second World War.
This free guided walk will reveal these natural and historic wonders so why not claim your free ticket by simply bringing your National Lottery ticket or scatchcard.
