Church Norton Walks & Route Maps

These walks around Church Norton offer a lovely mix of peaceful countryside, historic landmarks, and coastal scenery beside Pagham Harbour.

The shorter of these walks is a gentle, family-friendly stroll that visits the pretty village church, the Norman mound of Church Norton Mount, and a quiet stretch of coastline within a bird reserve.

The longer option extends the adventure with a much bigger circuit around the edge of Pagham Harbour, giving you even more time to enjoy the wide coastal views and abundant birdlife.

Both walks are full of character and history, although the longer route includes a short stretch along a busy road.
