| Tangmere Military Aviation Museum is three miles east of Chichester. The early exhibits give a nostalgic feel, with a strong RAF emphasis. It also includes more up to date aircraft.
West Dean Gardens, just north of Chichester, offers thirty-five acres of delightful ornamental grounds, with numerous trees, shrubs, and a 300ft pergola. There is also a beautifully restored walled kitchen garden. |
Singleton, a few miles further on, has charming groups of flint built cottages, some with thatched roofs, and a noble church with a Saxon tower. This is also the setting for the Weald and Downland Open Air Museum where some forty historic buildings have been rescued and lovingly rebuilt. Well worth a visit.
Probably the most well known region near Chichester is Goodwood. Goodwood House is an eighteenth century mansion, with a notable collection of paintings. |
