Tucked away in the south east
corner of Hampshire on the shore of Chichester Harbour,
Emsworth is a quiet and attractive yet vibrant and
dynamic town where residents wouldn't live anywhere else and
visitors can be sure of a friendly welcome.
Emsworth
is popular with sailors, artists, naturalists and walkers.
The two tidal millponds to east and west are host to a
variety of wildlife. Emsworth has a long history connected
with oyster fishing and boat building and still boasts
traditional shipwrights and chandleries. Its attractive
streets are lined with a mixture of architectural styles and
high walled gardens and a walk around the town gives a
genuine feel for the past, with exceptional harbour views.
