The Location

The small hamlet of Aldsworth lies approximately 2.5 miles to the east of Emsworth and 7 miles from Chichester within the rich and varied countryside of the South Downs National Park. Miles of footpaths and bridlepaths provide many opportunities for walking and horse riding. The main shopping centres of Chichester, Havant and Gunwharf Quays at Portsmouth are within convenient travelling distance by car or rail.

Emsworth has a very good range of local shopping facilities, restaurants and picturesque walks around the northern reaches of Chichester Harbour. Mainline stations are available at both Emsworth and Havant with regular services either via Chichester to London Victoria or via Havant to London Waterloo.

Sailing is perhaps one of the predominant pastimes in the area with a choice of sailing clubs in both Langstone and Chichester Harbours. There are two sailing clubs in Emsworth and golf courses can be found at Rowlands Castle and Goodwood.

Goodwood also plays host to a full horse racing calendar at its internationally renowned racecourse together with the Festival of Speed and the three day September Revival meeting at its historic motor circuit.
