Chichester Canal

Chichester Canal

A boat on the Chichester Canal

The Chichester Canal runs for four miles from the Southgate basin in the heart of Chichester to the Chichester Harbour at Birdham. An area of outstanding natural beauty, the canal offers visitors opportunities for activities such as boat trips, canoeing, fishing, walking and rowing.  

Some of the boat trips you can take on the canal are the Fish & Chips Cruise, the Cream Tea Cruise, Easter boat trips, Education on the Canal and more. It’s perfect for all the family. The Canal Trust is run by volunteers and is a registered charity. 

On a pleasant summer’s day, what could be more enjoyable – or more relaxing – than a journey on the water, accompanied by fabulous views and heart-warming tranquillity? These are the days when life is worth living, when you have nothing to do and lots of time to do it in. 

Easter Boat trips and Kingfisher boat private hire are all bookable via the Canal Trust’s website.
