These walks explore the seaside town of Selsey and the surrounding coastline and countryside.

The shorter route is a gentle, family-friendly stroll along Selsey Beach and through the town’s high street, perfect for enjoying shops and eateries.

The longer option takes in a sweeping coastal walk to Church Norton and Pagham Harbour, continues through open countryside and the Medberry Nature Reserve with its viewpoints and reed beds, before returning to Selsey for a well-earned stop at one of the local pubs or fish and chip shops.

Time
5 hours
Route type
Circular

This route is an epic adventure in and around the seaside town of Selsey.

If you head anticlockwise you are treated with a long sweeping walk along the pebbly beach of Selsey before you turn in at Church Norton to Pagham Harbour (visiting the mound and church on the way).

You will then enjoy more coastal walking before venturing away from the coast and into open countryside which then takes you into the Medberry Nature Reserve where you'll find a wonderful viewpoint, the reed beds and an abundance of nature.

After this you return back into Selsey and will walk through the main high street where you'll find plenty of pubs and fish and chip shops for your post walk reward.
