Explore Chichester: A Historical Gem In West Sussex Bursting With English Heritage!
Welcome to Chichester, a beautiful cathedral city in the heart of West Sussex. With its rich history, stunning architecture, and vibrant cultural scene, Chichester has something to offer everyone.
Chichester’s history dates back to Roman times, and the city is steeped in heritage. In this video we explore the remains of the Roman walls, visit the magnificent Chichester Cathedral, and wander through the charming streets lined with historic buildings, offering a fascinating glimpse into the past.
Chichester is a haven for art and culture lovers. The Pallant House Gallery houses a world-renowned collection of modern British art, and the Chichester Festival Theatre hosts various performances throughout the year. The city also has many independent shops and boutiques, offering a unique shopping experience.
Chichester is surrounded by stunning countryside, making it the perfect base for exploring the South Downs National Park. You can stroll along the Chichester Canal, explore the beautiful beaches of the Witterings, or visit some of the smaller villages like Lavant, Bosham, and Ichenor.
We hope this video inspires you to visit.

I love seeing all these lovely buildings and villages. Im always in awe of the magnificent work in cathedrals and how long they have stood the test of time. Thanks once again for all your effort. Cheers Cheryl 🙂
Thanks guys! We really enjoyed this video!😊
Beautiful area and lovely to see a bustling High Street.
That was quite a trek you took us on. Thank you…We feel like we have been away for a weekend too. The pub you stayed in looked lovely. Sooo many places of interest and we spotted plenty of dogs. 😊
Chichester has so many layers of history. Thank you for teaching me to say the city's name correctly; I was butchering it. Please keep up the great work.
Love from Portland Oregon
That is really a lovely village The house at about 50 minutes, gorgeous ! Probably very old, with tatched roof and these little windows upstairs. You also seem to have had a beautiful place to stay. Food looked superb ! You know it will be good if there are Roman settlements, they knew where life was good ! Thanks for sharing. Love each of your posts !
Love your vids and especially the narration. Thank you both for sharing your adventures
Spent a very enjoyable week in Chichester about 25 years ago, though it started off rather inauspiciously by arriving in the middle of a downpour. Brightened up later to be able to roam about the city and use it as a base to tour along the south coast visiting Fishbourne Roman Palace, Arundel, Hastings and Battle plus the Weald and Downland at Singleton and Bignor Roman Palace with some local friends. Encountered those muddy country backroads at the time too. 😉😊
As usual, we enjoy your videos. But this one stands out. It was very in depth and full of interesting information and history. Thank you gentlemen, we appreciate the work you put into the videos.
I don't know what you do in the rest of your life but you are a superb guide and explainer-of-history — thanks as always for a lovely time 💚💙💜
This is wonderful. I was in Chichester and had no idea how big and historical it is. Thank you so much.
Another outstanding overview of remarkable city. Each time I watch a new video I feel like I'm journeying back in time in the company of old friends. You guys are amazing!
I love all the beautiful old buildings in England. The Chichester cathedral is magnificent although I wasn't keen on the modern tapestries. I couldn't work out what they were depicting. I'm afraid I'm a real traditionalist. Thanks for the interesting tour.
Really enjoyed the video, you are the experts in providing history on YouTube.
I love your videos and especially your narration.
Regards
Thank you so much for sharing!
Excellent video as usual ❤❤
Thank you from NZ ❤
Fantastic research and commentary to go with great videos. Well done to you both!
as always, most interesting
I absolutely love your videos. So well presented and you find so much of interest in each place.
Me siento tan fascinada por la historia de distintos pueblos y ciudades de Inglaterra.
Veo que muchas calles son para los peatónes y creo que es bueno .
El mar siempre tranquilo , los techos de paja que me imagino conservan el calor dentro de las casa.
Me gustan las iglesias por dentro y fuera .
En fin me gusta todo .
Saludos de Valparaíso Chile .
I love history of places such as this. Thank you for this.
Enjoyed seeing that the custodians of the cathedral display so many layers of history in that magnificent place. This town was blessed with a variety of talented craftsmen over many centuries. Glad to see the beautiful quality that is apparently still valued. Thanks for the tour and history lesson. Topnotch 😊
Interestingly the remains of the westgate were visible for a short time last year during the works going on.
My wife and I love Bosham. If you walk back from the water front there's a lovely hotel called the Millstream. It's away from all the crowds that you tend to get on a sunny day and you can sit at a table on the lawn area out front with a drink and a light meal and watch the world go by.
