★★★★☆
An extensive protected network of channels and mudbanks with the South Downs to the North, this is a place to wander in all seasons. A sailer's paradise too with challenges for even the most experienced sailer. Power is the choice of mariners negotiating their way to the marinas around this body of water. Dog walkers have good paths around the shores for walks of any length. So too families can plan for long or short walks with waypoints for lunch of refreshment and icecreams. Toilets are scarce but parking can be found near the major marinas or close to the villages inland. Wildlife abounds though mostly avian.
