Chichester

Historic cathedral city with Roman origins, Festival Theatre, and the South Downs on the doorstep

Chichester is a cathedral city in West Sussex with Roman origins, a medieval street plan, and a cultural life centred on the Festival Theatre and Pallant House Gallery. The city sits on the coastal plain between the South Downs and the harbour, and serves as the commercial centre for a wide rural district. The cathedral spire is visible from miles around and the Market Cross marks the centre of the Roman grid. For Chichester news and guides, visit thechichester.news.
