The five pitches are all generously sized and fully serviced. There is a footpath around a pretty lake on site, and also footpaths leading to many other tracks and footpaths for exploration, which are ideal for those of us with dogs. The facilities are spotless, offering showers, toilets, washing up and laundry facilities. We had some very enjoyable days out visiting Chichester with its majestic medieval Cathedral, and the interesting, picturesque tidal estuary at Chichester harbour. Our other excursions included the spectacular West Wittering beach, the nearby ruins of medieval Cowdray House and the charming village of Petworth. The Weald and Downland living museum is apparently a great place to visit. Bow Hill farm site is reasonably priced, and I’d definitely return just for those views! · via Google [Vanessa Czirkovits](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/105331044409061596310/reviews) ★★★★★ Beautiful and peaceful accommodation nestled amongst countryside and nature. Lovely spot to stargaze. Lodge was immaculately clean with essentials such as milk, coffee, chocolate, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets. Nice area for a bbq and sunbathing. Thank you for a relaxing stay. · via Google [Debra Waltham](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/118050441065723821380/reviews) ★★★★★ Our first stay at Bow Hill Farm and it won’t be our last. A lovely, tranquil and peaceful site with spacious pitches. We were on pitch 4 and had a wonderful view. Immaculate facilities. Lots of lovely walks from the site. Highly recommend a stay at Bow Hill Farm. · via Google [Elaine House](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/108160289373837684927/reviews) ★★★★★ We've just stayed for a long weekend on pitch 5 in our caravan. The site is stunning and the views are amazing. Phil was great, very friendly and the facilities are spotless. Some lovely pubs nearby. So peaceful too. We will be back! · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x48744cb8d93ce0a5:0xce50d52d14aff162!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ## At a glance **Address** Town Lane, Chichester, PO18 0EU [Get directions](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=50.9084493%2C-0.7567786) **Category** Museums & Galleries **Guest rating** 4.7 / 5 (5,518 reviews) **Suitable for** All Ages **Setting** Indoor & outdoor **Dogs allowed** Yes **Good for children** Yes **Toilets on site** Yes **Destination** Chichester [More attractions in Chichester](https://staycation.co.uk/chichester/attractions) ★ 4.7 (5,518 reviews) [Visit official website](http://www.wealddown.co.uk/?utm_source=staycation.co.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=attraction) [01243 811363](tel:01243811363) (please mention staycation.co.uk when calling) ### Quick Facts **Destination** Chichester **Postcode** PO18 0EU **Plus Code** 9C2XW5F7+VF [Directions ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/dir//''/data=!4m7!4m6!1m1!4e2!1m2!1m1!1s0x48744cb8d93ce0a5:0xce50d52d14aff162!3e0?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [More photos on Google ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x48744cb8d93ce0a5:0xce50d52d14aff162!10e5?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [Write a review ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x48744cb8d93ce0a5:0xce50d52d14aff162!12e1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ### 🏨 Places to stay near Chichester Hotels, B&Bs and self-catering on Booking.com, with live prices.
