Getting Around Chichester

A general-purpose guide to Chichester, including some cycling information. Funded by the LSTF money awarded by WSCC to Chichester and Horsham only.

Cycling is a great way to get your recommended 30 minutes of daily exercise. The West Sussex Cycle Journey Planner will help you find a fast, balanced, or quiet route to your destination including a turn-by-turn route plan. It will also tell you how many calories you will burn and how much carbon dioxide you will save by cycling instead of driving. To plan your journey visit www.westsussex.gov.uk/cycling
