Introducing Chichester
Compact Chichester is a well-to-do Georgian market town that manages to straddle the divide between countryside charm and cosmopolitan culture. On the one hand, it’s home to an array of traditional tea-and-crumpet shops, well-mannered townsfolk, a fine cathedral and streets of handsome 18th-century town houses. While on the other, Chichester boasts a famous theatre and arts festival and a superb modern-art gallery. Also the administrative capital of West Sussex, the town is within easy striking distance of some fascinating Roman remains that recall its days as a sprawling port garrison shortly after the invasion of AD 43.
