The mainline station is two miles away, providing access along the south coast, to London Victoria via Gatwick and to London Waterloo via Havant. The A27 provides access to the A3(M) and on to the M25. Portsmouth ferry port, about 16 miles, provides access to the Isle of Wight, Channel Islands and to Continental Europe. Southampton Airport is about 30 miles.

The Centurion Way foot and cycle path is accessed to the west of Chichester and provides access via the Salterns Way, where you can cycle along the harbour shoreline to the wonderful beach of West Wittering.

Goodwood, to the northeast, offers a horse racing calendar and annual events for motoring enthusiasts. Sailing may be enjoyed from the many villages around Chichester Harbour and off the coast. There are also first class sailing facilities at Bidham Pool Marina and Chichester Harbour offering private berths.
