Before You Set Off
Before You Set Off
Before you set off on your awesome adventure, there are a few things you need to know...
This Trail takes you through Priory Park, which opens 8:30am-5:30pm Monday to Friday, 9:00am-5:00pm on Saturday, and 9:30am-12:30pm on Sunday. Clues 14-17 take place around the Cloisters and are inaccessible after 6:30 pm Monday to Saturday and after 5:00pm on Sundays. We would strongly recommend checking the Cathedral's opening hours before travelling to avoid disappointment.
This route is friendly for wheelchair users and pushchairs.
Bring your four-legged friends along, but please note that they are not allowed into Priory Park.
There are several pay and display long stay and short stay car parks close to the Trail start point. We would recommend Orchard Street (PO19 1DD) or St Cyriacs (PO19 1AJ) as the closest car parks.
There are some fantastic events in Chichester's calendar, some of which take place in Priory Park. During these events, some of the clues on this Trail may become obstructed or difficult to access.
There are public toilets available at Northgate car park, near to Priory Park. There are many cafes, pubs and other eating establishments along the way. If the weather is nice, you may choose to picnic in the stunning and tranquil Bishop's Palace Gardens, a hidden gem situated within the City Walls next to the Cathedral.
Why not make a day of it and take a look inside Chichester Cathedral, or pay a visit to Fishbourne Palace and The Novium to learn more about the town's Roman roots!
