Birdham Pool Marina
Birdham Pool is a quietly special spot tucked about 4½ miles inside Chichester Harbour, offering 249 pontoon berths in a non-tidal basin — meaning you can come and go without worrying about the tides. It's a small, rural marina with a genuinely peaceful feel, set on the southern edge of Chichester Lake, and the cathedral city of Chichester is just a short trip away if you fancy exploring.
