Birdham Pool
Birdham Pool
Birdham Pool sits at the southern end of the Chichester Ship Canal, where the 4-mile waterway meets Chichester Harbour in Birdham, West Sussex.
It marks the canal's connection to the sea and lies within Chichester Harbour, designated both an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
The adjacent Birdham Pool Marina, one of the oldest in the United Kingdom and opened in 1937, provides a well-established base for those arriving by water.
The broader area supports a range of activities including sailing, kayaking, paddleboarding, and birdwatching amid calm, wildlife-rich surroundings.
