What makes Chichester Harbour an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)?

Chichester’s natural harbour has been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) due to its tidal inlets and wind-blown trees and shrubs that line its undeveloped coast. The saltmarsh and mudflats here are home to tens of thousands of birds, and recreational boats also frequent the harbour. Visitors can walk, cycle, or take scenic boat tours of Chichester Harbour, and there are many campsites and glamping sites both in the AONB and around its edge.
