It was from Bosham that Harold II set forth in 1064 to negotiate with William of Normandy, a voyage that led to William the Conqueror’s return in 1066; Bosham features in the Bayeaux Tapestry.
Today Bosham is both picturesque and a thriving centre for sailing. Chichester harbour is a sanctuary for migrating wildfowl, shellduck, wigeon, Brent geese, waders and many more, and offers great walks along the sea shore.
A favourite haunt for artists and photographers, this picturesque village offers something to suit all tastes; those with a sense of history, artists, photographers, walkers, cyclists, sailors and weekenders all love the place.
