LIFE IN GOODWOOD AND CHICHESTER.
Goodwood is located in close proximity to Chichester, West Sussex’s only city, in South East England. Chichester has a population of over 26,000 inhabitants, and is a stunning and historic location – based less than 10 miles from some of the nicest beaches on the South Coast.
Chichester is bordered by the beautiful rolling landscape of the South Downs National Park – where stretches of wooded hills and chalk ridges culminate in the iconic chalky white cliffs of Beachy Head, a mere one and a half hour’s drive from the city centre.
It’s not only the landscape that is pleasing to the eye. Chichester’s magnificent architecture, including the historic cathedral (built in 1108) and the striking monument of the Earl and Countess, is of particular interest. Meanwhile, the remarkable art gallery of Pallant House is establishing itself as major centre for contemporary British art on the South Coast – and is home to paintings by Auerbach, Peter Blake and Lucian Freud.
In June, July and August, people come from far and wide to experience the Festival of Speed and visit the stunning racecourse at Goodwood. The festival takes place at the Goodwood motor circuit, with a view of the South Downs on one side and the sea on the other. The city also holds an annual four-week arts and music festival, the Festival of Chichester, which runs from June until July.
Gastronomically, Chichester offers food options on a par with any major city. The English platters on South Street come highly recommended – while St Martin’s Tea Room, which serves organic fare, is one of the best examples of an old-fashioned tea room in England.
