East Pallant Murals

You'll find these murals tucked into the fabric of Chichester itself, splashed across the walls of East Pallant with genuine artistic intent rather than corporate gloss. What we're talking about is street art that actually respects its surroundings - bold colour and skilled technique applied to the Georgian character of this part of town. It's free to wander and look, which is the right price for what amounts to a pleasant 20-minute ramble if you're already in Chichester town centre.

The appeal here is for anyone who gets excited by the intersection of art and architecture. History buffs will appreciate the contrast between the murals and the period buildings they adorn. It's not a thundering great monument or an indoor gallery experience - more a reason to slow down and notice what's happening on the streetscape as you move between cafes and shops. Kids will probably find it mildly interesting rather than compelling, unless they're already into art and street culture.

If you're basing yourselves at Chichester Lakeside Holiday Park, just over a mile away, or anywhere in that constellation of caravan sites around Bognor Regis and beyond, you've got the leisure to actually look properly rather than rushing through. Pop in mid-morning before the high street gets too busy, and spend time looking up. The real value is in the walk itself, not the destination - that's the honest truth of it. Combine it with Chichester's cathedral and Georgian architecture if you want to make a proper afternoon of it.
