Chichester is also home to the Chichester Festival Theatre and to Goodwood where, depending upon the season, you can sample thoroughbred racing, motor circuits and golf. Some say that Goodwood, on the grounds of the Goodwood Estate - home of the Dukes of Richmond for 300 years, is one of the prettiest racetracks in the world.
Certainly the little boat haven of Bosham (pronounced Buzum)is one of the prettiest reaches of the lovely Chichester Harbour.
If you stay here, try...
- The Millstream Hotel in Bosham Harbour. A small, homey and very English hotel at the waters edge in a hamlet that, at high tide is virtually underwater. Storybook pretty, but careful where you park.
- Suffolk House Hotel is the foot of the South Downs yet in the center of Chichester. It's convenient for the Festival Theatre, Goodwood Racecourse and Motor Circuit and within sight of the beautiful Cathedral.
- The Marriott Hotel and Country Club for golf fans, the hotel has access to Goodwood's 18-hole golf course.
