The crunch of gravel under your wheels, then stillness — just birdsong and the rustle of oak branches overhead as you pull onto pitch.
The Oaks welcomes campervans and caravans, making it a solid choice for couples or families touring with their own kit. Dogs may be allowed — worth asking when you book if you're bringing a four-legged companion along. It's the kind of spot where you arrive, level up, and let the slower rhythms of the countryside take over.
Facilities aren't detailed here, so it's wise to ring ahead and check what's onsite — hook-ups, water points, that sort of thing. Campfires fall into the same camp: ask on arrival and they'll let you know what's allowed. The vibe feels low-key and unpretentious, the sort of place where your biggest decision is whether to brew up inside or out under the trees.

Follows the trackbed of a historic tramway through flat coastal terrain with excellent accessibility for buggies and young families. Dogs welcome on this easy, level route that weaves through the Manhood Peninsula's unique wetland landscape. Notable for industrial heritage features and birdwatching opportunities along the former rail line that once served Selsey's seaside community.
Follows the England Coast Path's inland alternative when the seasonal Itchenor Ferry isn't running, diverting through Itchenor village and around Chichester Harbour's creeks. Flat, easy terrain on pavements and field paths, though adds significant distance to your coastal walk. Suitable for buggies on road sections but muddier field paths may challenge pushchairs after rain. Dogs welcome on leads through village areas. Worth doing for harbour views and the charming Saxon church at Itchenor, thou
Follows the England Coast Path inland through West Wittering and Itchenor village, skirting Chichester Harbour's tranquil waterways. Mostly flat terrain on pavements, lanes and field paths – suitable for families and pushchairs in dry weather, though some sections can get muddy. Dogs welcome on leads through village areas. Offers lovely harbour views, passes traditional sailing villages with pubs and cafes, and ends at Itchenor Ferry (summer service only) for crossing to Bosham. Perfect low-key
Loops through coastal dunes and tidal mudflats on the East Head peninsula with sweeping Chichester Harbour views. Mostly flat, sandy terrain that can be soft underfoot – not buggy-friendly and tricky for very young children. Dogs welcome but must be under control around nesting birds (April-August). Worth it for big skies, wading birds, and that wild, windswept beach feeling just minutes from West Wittering's civilisation.
