Having booked an owl experience for my husband and daughter on groupon we were then emailed to say that they were relocating. This was not a problem for us and we were prepared to wait until the birds had resettled at their new site. We received constant emails from both Kevin and Emma until we were ready to book the date. On arrival we were greeted by Michelle and the three owls. We were in a party of four and were each given plenty of time handling the owls. Michelle was extremely knowledgable and you could see the bond she had with the owls who responded to her in an affectionate way. The owls were amazing, the venue was great and we all had a fantastic time. I have already recommended this experience to friends and am now thinking of the hawk experience. Thank you Michelle for an amazing time!

The whole experience was wonderful. The tour was very informative and interesting. This was followed by the tasting. The glasses are very generously filled and explained in detail. The cheese platter with honey is a real eye opener. I would highly recommend this tour. You get to try three glasses of the most amazing bubbly. The prices to buy your own is very reasonable.

The definite star of the small city of Chichester and we had excellent views out to it whilst having lunch.
Unfortunately a percentage of the building was under cover so I managed to get a photo and was very unsure if I could take a photo whilst inside.
We wandered the grounds for a further look before leaving.
A beautiful Cathedral.
Visited 17th March 2018.

A glorious October morning for a stroll through the ancient yew forest. Well marked paths on the trail, leading up the hill to an amazing view over Chichester and the harbour. A few other ramblers about, but not so many that they were in sight. Lots of buzzards gliding about, spotted deer and pheasant in the distance. The yew woods are great, because they are so peculiarly mono-botanical, but there are also deciduous woods where we spotted lots of different fungi. Great walk.

Where else in the world can you see over 70 specially commissioned monumental sculptures in an idyllic landscape, and all for sale?

This was the first time I’ve visited CASS and I’m amazed. The setting is stunning and it makes for a lovely day out. The sculptures are incredible and Lotty who showed me round was extremely knowledgable about the artists and sculptures backgrounds, this definitely made my visit far more interesting. Would definitely recommend CASS to anyone interested in Art or wanting to purchase some outstanding sculptures.

Only a few minutes walk from the Cathedral this large garden is well worth a visit.
Access is easy and with plenty of good quality paths movement throughout the garden is straightforward whatever ones mobility issues . A flight of steps provides access to a stretch of the ancient walls, otherwise there are no slopes.
The overall effect is peaceful and tranquil, even on the bleak day we visited. There are a number of specimen trees and areas of planting interest throughout.
Well worth visiting.

The location itself is pretty enough, but it is marred by the local residents, some of whom are extremely obnoxious and aggressive. I parked my car down there and some minutes later another car stopped adjacent to me and started to blow his horn. The driver demanded that I move; as I was not in his way; I responded that I saw no reason to move. At this point, his wife leapt out of their car, charged over to mine, yanked the drivers' door open and dragged me out of my car. All the time she was screaming at me and her face was contorted with rage. Both the woman and her husband then set about me. I reported them to the police and the woman received a caution. I have their details; both were long standing residents of Bosham Hoe.

My children (4 and 6) loved visiting here yesterday. Lots of great houses to explore and during half term there were lots of free crafty activities to keep them entertained.
