Salterns Way

The Salterns Way is a 19km long circular cycle route around Chichester Harbour and involving a short crossing on the Bosham-Itchenor Ferry. It is a great way to explore the harbour by land. 

The riding combines lanes and bridleways to make it almost traffic-free and there are many places to stop en route for a drink or a bite to eat.

The pretty harbour villages of Bosham, Itchenor and Dell Quay are on the route, as is Fishbourne Roman Palace. Chichester and West Wittering are easy to add-on for a visit.

The ferry operates non-stop every day from May to September and at weekends from October to April. It costs £3 per adult, £1 per child and 50p for a bike.

We'll be happy to tell you which direction to ride it (to factor in high tide when some roads are submerged) and recommend places to stop.
