Bishop Palace Gardens Canon Lane/Avenue de Chartres
Views of the Cathedral can be seen from here. Bounded on the south and west by the City Wall and north and east by the Cathedral precinct. The garden has several areas of open grass and seats in amongst pathways leading through mature specimen trees, herbaceous borders and flowerbeds.


Jubilee Gardens New Park Road
This site provides colourful displays of flowers underneath some Interesting trees. Seating is provided between pathways and grassy areas. There is also a small children’s play area.


Priory Park Guildhall Street/Priory Road
Within its fenced perimeter, this open grass area is ideal for picnics and for children to play games. A focal point is the Guildhall, a Grade II listed building which was once the Chancel of Greyfriars Church and later served as a Town Hall. The Guildhall contains a small museum display and is open on Saturday afternoons in the Summer. The raised mount in the north-east corner was the site of a castle or motte. The park has a children’s play area, aviary, bowling green, cricket square and toilet facilities.

Oaklands Park Broyle Road
A large open grass area adjacent to the Festival Theatre. There is plenty of parking in the Northgate car park. There are football and rugby pitches and a children’s play area.


Roman Amphitheatre Velyn Avenue/Market Car Park
Like any Roman city of importance, Chichester had its amphitheatre. This was situated to the east of the City just outside the city walls. Sadly all that remains is a depression in the grass. The grassy area remains a place for family games and picnics.

Walls Walk
The City walls are of Roman origin, but the existing remains are largely medieval. Although they no longer encircle the City completely, sufficient remain to make an interesting walk of about one hour. Originally there were gates piercing the walls at the end of each of the four main streets, but these were demolished in the eighteenth century. A leaflet describing the principal features is available from the Tourist Information Centre.
