Local Area

The Pallants are some very old streets in Chichester although our apartment is just laying back from this area, it still shares this unique tranquillity. As history goes, this part of Chichester belonged to the Archbishop and use to be called the Palantine. The word palantine means 'of the palace' however as time went on is gradually became what it is today - 'Pallant'.

The apartment is situated in a very quiet residential quarter of Chichester.
Ideally located only a few minutes walk from the city centre, it offers easy access to the many shops, bars, restaurants and cafes that Chichester has to offer.

If you are looking for a place to stay whilst attending a Goodwood event - the apartment is only a 15 minute drive from Goodwood Motor Circuit, House and Horse Racing. There are many taxi companies operating in the area, please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any help in organising this.

If you are working at St Richards Hospital, the apartment is a 20 minute walk away.

The cathedral offers free entry and is a beautiful building to explore and visit. Bishops gardens are located nearby the Cathedral and are stunning in all seasons offering a picture perfect backdrop with the cathedral in the distance.

Chichester canal is also a nice place to visit either for a long walk through to Chichester Marina or on a boat trip which operate regularly.

A visit to Chichester Theatre is a must and they always have so much going on! They have many shows throughout the year, both matinee and evening performances.

There are many parks around Chichester, the most central being Priory park with a play area, cafe and big open green space.

Our apartment is also a great base to explore the local area. There is an abundance of things to do locally - The countryside of the beautiful South Downs National Park and the south coast are within a short drive and offer many rural and costal walks. There are many areas great for bird watching and lots of trails for keen cyclists.

The towns and cities of Arundel, Bognor Regis and Portsmouth are all within a short drive and there is outlet shopping at Gunwharf Quays which is great for some designer shopping!

A car is not essential with this property as there is a bus and train station in Chichester. Tesco Express is only a 4 minute walk away.

The city walls walk is a great circular walk taking in the city - great if you like to soak up the history.

The Novium Museum is located opposite the cathedral in West Street and gives a great insight into Chichester's history.

On a rainy day you can keep entertained not only with shopping but also at City Gate located near the train station in Chichester. Here you will find bowling and a cinema along with a few eateries.
