Sidlesham Ferry Nature Trail

Route

• This route is an introduction to the Sidlesham Ferry area of the Pagham Harbour Nature Reserve.

Start/finish

• Pagham Harbour Visitor Centre, Selsey Road, Sidlesham, Chichester, West Sussex, PO20 7NE.

For use by

• Walkers. Suitable for most assisted wheelchair users and pushchairs. Several resting places provided along the route.

Nearest towns

• Chichester and Selsey.

Terrain

• The trail is about 1.5 miles of easy walking and takes about an hour. A shorter circuit, suitable for those who do not wish to walk the full trail, as well as for people using wheelchairs or with pushchairs, leads back to the Visitor Centre. The paths may become muddy after rain so Wellingtons or stout shoes may be needed.

Highlights

• Interesting and varied mix of terrain supports a wide diversity of wildlife: birds, plants and insects. The shallow, slightly salty, Ferry Pool is one of the best bird watching spots in West Sussex.
