Access Notes

  • IMPORTANT NOTE: Spring high tides can flood some of the estuary paths so please check the Bosham tide times and time your walk to AVOID HIGH TIDES.
  • The walk is virtually flat throughout with just a couple of very gentle slopes.
  • The paths through the water meadows and fields can be very boggy and muddy so good boots are a must.
  • Three of the fields you cross, the Fishbourne Meadows, are used to graze cattle so take particular care with dogs. You will need to negotiate a few steps, kissing gates and footbridges but there are no stiles on route.
  • There are a couple of sections of walking on quiet lanes and you will need to cross an A-road a couple of times, so take care at these points.
