Chichester City Walls Walk
Chichester City Walls
City walls founded in Roman times and rebuilt in the Middle Ages, about 90% still intact. A walkway on top lets you circle most of the old town.
The walls were first built in the 3rd century CE during the Roman period and were reinforced many times in the Middle Ages. They run about 2.4 km in total, and about 85% survives today, making them among the most complete city walls in England. You can walk along the top of the north and east sections, overlooking Priory Park and the rooftops of the old town. The southern section passes the Bishop's Palace garden. Information boards line the route. The full walk takes about 1 hour and is free. You can climb onto the walls from North Walls or Priory Park, and take in the Pallant district along the way.
