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 wild life. 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.
The
information pages on this site will show
you what Emsworth has to offer;
how to find us; the interesting things
you can do and find here; activities,
restaurants, pubs and accommodation, the
history of the town, where to go sailing
and walking, interesting places to visit
close at hand and how you can
enjoy holidays, short breaks or
vacations in summer, autumn, winter and
spring. Ideal situation and plenty of
activities for children.
