When you are craving fresh, local seafood, Selsey is the place to be. Head to Potters, located beside the Lifeboat Station, for same-day caught and cooked shellfish to take away – a true taste of the coast.

NEARBY ATTRACTIONS
For the best coastal experiences, head to West Wittering Beach (about 25 minutes by car). This is a beautiful, sandy Blue Flag beach in a largely undeveloped Site of Special Scientific Interest, perfect for walkers, swimmers, paddleboarders, and kite surfers.

In Selsey itself, you’ll find plenty to explore. Visit the Selsey Lifeboat Station (1.4 miles away) which is open to visitors most of the week (check times). From there, you can walk, cycle, or scoot along the Promenade all the way to East Beach. For marine life enthusiasts, try Medmerry Diving (5 minutes drive in Selsey) for deep-sea diving experiences or enjoy excellent sea fishing right from the beaches.

For nature and wildlife, Pagham Harbour RSPB nature reserve is a must-see. This internationally important wetland is one of the few undeveloped stretches of the Sussex coast and is teeming with wildlife. The reserve and car park are open at all times, with the visitor centre open daily (10 AM–4 PM). Also, be sure to visit Bosham Harbour and its picturesque Saxon church, part of the Chichester Harbour Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. You’ll find quaint cafes and a pretty pub overlooking the water.

The historic Roman town of Chichester is just 9 miles north of Selsey. Its pedestrian centre is home to boutique shops, cafes, restaurants, galleries, and Chichester Cathedral – famous for its separate bell tower, which is often home to nesting Peregrine Falcons. We highly recommend a walk around the City Walls, which offers great views and takes in the Bishop’s Palace Gardens. Just under 10 miles away, Fishbourne Roman Palace is the largest residential Roman building ever discovered in Britain and is open daily (10 AM–5 PM).

For golf and outdoor fun, Chichester Golf Club (10 minutes drive) offers excellent facilities for all ages, including the fun Jungle Paradise Adventure Golf course. For spectacular views, hike up The Trundle, the highest point on the South Downs Way, part of the Goodwood Estate, offering views across Chichester Harbour.

Finally, for culture and history, West Dean Gardens is one of England’s greatest restored public gardens – perfect for a wander around the grand pergola. Right next door is the Weald & Downland Living Museum, showcasing historic buildings rebuilt brick by brick and set in beautiful downland countryside. Goodwood (20 minutes drive) hosts world-famous events like the Festival of Speed, Goodwood Revival, and Glorious Goodwood.

Guests will have exclusive use of the entire home and garden, with dedicated parking for up to two cars.
