From Bosham Station, walk south past the post office and shops to the roundabout at the main A259. There is an Indian restaurant on the corner and you turn right here into Old Bridge Road. Cross the millstream and pass some new houses on your right. You are on the old Chichester to Portsmouth highway. It narrows then becomes an access road to larger houses. It narrows again and opens onto another piece of the highway.

Here you turn left towards the harbour. Cross the A259 and descend steps to a footpath over a field. At the harbour turn left onto a raised bank. In winter you can spy Bosham Church if you look south. Cross the millstream as it enters the harbour. Turn right after a stile, keeping the windswept hedge on your right, and make for the church about half a mile away.

At the first houses, you either go straight on at high tide or turn right and along the shore at low tide. Both paths lead you to Bosham Quay and the church. Harold Godwinson sailed from here in 1064, a scene depicted in the Bayeux Tapestry.

After visiting the church, at low tide follow Shore Road past sailing club. This road is flooded at high tide. King Canute is believed to have shown his inability to control the waves here. With his example at high tide we shall take the village route along High Street to Bosham Lane and the Trippet opposite. (The Trippet is a raised path by the harbour.)  Both routes pass the pub, "The Anchor".  Keep going as far as the junction between Shore Road and The Drive. Turn left and find the passage which leads between the gardens to Taylors Lane.

Cross Taylors Lane to a footpath opposite over open countryside heading east for half a mile, with a slight deviation around an isolated cottage. Cross the next tarmac lane, Old Park Lane, and continue east with views to Dell Quay and Chichester Cathedral. At the T-junction of paths turn right then left to Fishbourne Channel.  Go along the edge of Fishbourne Channel for half a mile then pass through reed beds to Mill Pond. Turn left up Mill Lane, cross the A259. Turn left. When you reach Salthill Road, turn right up to the station.   Cross Mill Lane at the pond and continue East along the footpath to Fishbourne Church.
