17th May. Chichester. Part 3. Bosham Harbour.
Bosham is the best known of the Chichester Harbour Villages.
It is pronounced Boz - um.
Later in the day we went to Itchenor. There is a ferry from Bosham Hoe to Itchenor, but only at weekends. It is a long drive round.
View of the village from across the harbour.
At high tide the harbour road is under water.
Below is a picture from a web site showing the road at low tide. It winds round the edge of the harbour.
Many years ago we parked our car on that road and went for a walk. When we came back the tide was in and the car had disappeared. Fortunately a kindly person had been able to move it for us.
And here I am with baby Jamie enjoying a walk along the harbour road in 1970.
The swans in Bosham were almost tame and I didn't feel alarmed having their beaks so close to Jamie.
Bosham is a popular centre for boating.
When the sun came out the harbour atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing.
Next time I shall take a look at the village and the church.
