Charming, cosmopolitan ambiance. Felt civilised and up market. Cathedral one of the best, and was free. Buildings spoke of the elegance of a former age. The sort of place it would be a pleasure to revisit.
Like Xian in China, Fishbourne, where the Woolpack Inn is located, stumbled onto a Roman Palace while trenching for a water main. The museum is beautiful and the archaeological discoveries are spectacular and worth the trip.
I visited Chichester in 2007 and liked it so much I decided to live there! As a visitor, the best place to start is with the Novium Museum, which shows you the history of the district and is built around the Roman Baths. A walk round the walls is a must, as is the Cathedral, with an altar piece by John Piper, a Chagall window and the Arundel tomb, about which Philip Larkin wrote a poem. If you like modern art, there is the renowned Pallant House Gallery and the Cass Sculpture Foundation is nearby. The Chichester Festival Theatre stages its own in-house productions, many of which transfer to the West End. Besides Cineworld, there is a wonderful Arts Cinema and Chichester even has its own planetarium! There are lovely green spaces too, such as Priory Park with its Guildhall used for weddings and Bishop's Palace gardens with its exotic trees. There is also a lot to see nearby, such as the seaside, Goodwood, Fishbourne Roman Palace, Bignor Roman Villa, Petworth House, Cowdray House, Uppark House, Stansted House and the Weald and Downland Open Air Museum. You can drive to these places, but the buses are quite good, too. There are plenty of pubs, cafes and restaurants in Chichester, and they aren't all chains, either. The Nag's Head has an excellent restaurant with a carvery, and I love the Little London Café and the Vintage Tea Rooms in North Street. As a souvenir for a friend (or yourself!), you could buy chocolate from Montezuma's, a Sussex-based business.
Visit Chichester festival theatre - it's an inspiring space and they stage great shows. I ate at Cote and had great service and a lovely meal. there is parking right behind Trents but you have to navigate round the roads behind the hotel to get to it.
This ancient City, founded by our Ancient Roman Conquerors and their Government, contains medieval flint city walls and very fine perpendicular style Cathedral of medieval origin. Shops galore, many of high quality. Theatres and Cinema. Parks. Social and sports facilities. Not far way are the wonderful mosaic floors of the great Roman Palace at Fishbourne, of which only the floor now remains.
Beautifully clean and attractive town centre. Shop keepers very friendly, especially in the small boutiquey outlets. Despite the small pretty shop fronts the inside of the shops were large and modern. Had every shop you need in a town. Good food at Bill's, North Street and Ask Pizzeria.
“Good location close to Chichester. There is a lovely walk along the canal from near to the cottage into the town that takes about half an hour. Excellent breakfast included.”
“Friendly service from hotel staff. Very nice rooms with comfortable beds. Excellent food and nice wines in the Richmond Arms restaurant.”
“Very clean and spacious rooms which felt more like little apartments than hotel rooms. Great food and warm staff!”
“Excellent hotel,very attentive staff and felt like a 5 star experience, we also ate dinner in the restaurant which was exceptional. Would highly recommend.”
