North Bosham has a good range of local shops whilst there are comprehensive facilities available at Chichester (5m). Further shopping facilities can be found to the west in Emsworth. Sailing is the predominant pastime in the area with the nearby waters of Chichester Harbour and The Solent being some of the most conveniently placed sailing facilities for those wishing to access the south coast from London. There are a number of sailing clubs at Emsworth, Bosham, Itchenor and Chichester Marina at Birdham. The beaches on the south coast, in particular at West and East Wittering, provide many opportunities for bathing, windsurfing and more recently, kitesurfing and landboarding. Further inland, Glorious Goodwood is already internationally known for its famous racecourse, but also provides a private country club, a number of golf courses and plays host to the annual Festival of Speed and the Revival of this historic motor circuit. The rich countryside of the South Downs is close to hand, recently given the status of a National Park, and provides many opportunities for riding, mountain biking and walking.
