Situated at the top
of Chichester Harbour, Emsworth is popular with sailors, artists,
naturalists and walkers. The two tidal millponds to east and west are
host to a variety of wild life. Emsworth has a long history connected
with oyster fishing and boat building and still boasts traditional
shipwrights and chandleries. Its attractive streets are lined with a
mixture of architectural styles and high walled gardens and a walk
around the town gives a genuine feel for the past, with exceptional
harbour views.
