    Simply beautiful. Such a quaint place to visit. Well looked after gardens. Lovely cafés, friendly people. The tide comes right up the stone wall and Bosham has the smells and sounds of happiness!

    Loved it here , really pretty , loads of parking (DON'T park at the waters edge unless you keep an eye on the tide times. ) will be on our places to revisit list.

    Despite being a grey day this little village has a lot of charm. Do watch out for the tide when parking! There are signs warning you and they do need to be taken seriously. We were not in any danger, but we were surprised by how quickly the water came up! A wander around the church reveals some surprises, from the grave of one of Canute's daughters through to a Mass Scratch Dial (I had never heard of it so Wikipedia came to the eacue!) via the Bayeux Tapestry. Very interesting!

    Came across Bosham quite by accident. Saw signs for a craft centre and followed our notes. Great little place. Plenty of parking area - reasonable rates. No problem with the camper. Now ... beware ....parking by the waters edge !!! It's tidal, see photos !!! Cafes, walks, church, quayside, Nat Trust Green and a lovely craft centre. Easy couple of very pleasant hours spent here. Enjoy.

    This really is a lovely spot, there is a small road that leads you around the quay which is lovely, parts of the road are a bit rough. It is also a great area to walk around the coast or into the village with other cafe and pubs available for food and drink. Low tide here is really beautiful i find myself coming back here all the time. At low tide its best not to park and walk away from your car as the tide has caught a few people out and damaged their car.

    Bosham is stunning! I remember going there as a child, and now take my own children! It hasn't changed, there's no reason for it to do so! Lovely little cafe with the most delicious sausage rolls I've ever tasted... you need to try it! Carpark close by, and doesn't cost your mortgage to park there. The walk around the Quay is like another world, so elegant and picturesque you'll take plenty of photos for sure 😊

    A wonderful relaxing place which remains unchanged. Good Parking and a wonderful Church steeped in history. Nice easy walk around shore road to get a different perspective on the village, which is best done at low tide! Always use the Car Park to avoid a wet car!

    Quaint hamlet on the mouth of the estuary. Visit the church where King Harold, Bayeux Tapestry figure, prayed before the Battle of Hastings and King Cnut's daughter is buried

    Absolutely beautiful place to visit. We were fortunate enough to be there befire high tide so managed to walk around the bay. We then saw the tide come on and change the scene and watch delivery drivers trying to beat the incoming water, braver than us 😂 Such a peaceful place to sit and watch the wildlife and wander. It's worth a visit to the craft centre too

    Great place where sea meets land...very quickie!

  • 5/5 dawne d. 9 months ago on Google
    High tide completely submersed the road by the harbour, totally changing the look of the harbour - still stunningly beautiful, just very different to low tide.

    Fascinating to watch the tide coming in, gradually covering the road and making its way up the street. Really pretty. Nice tea shop and crafts too.

  • 5/5 Lillian L. 9 months ago on Google
    A lovely little place to go. Plenty of history in the church. King Alfred stopped there on his way to the crusades. King Canute has his 5 year daughter buried in the church vault. Lso has the bayeux tapestry in the church. Well worth a visit

  • 5/5 Ben D. 9 months ago on Google
    Great place for a gentle stroll or a much longer walk, some on the level, others across pebble paths so those with wheelchairs or buggies are catered for. Also toilets and disabled toilet in Bosham car park. There are pay at machine car parks there but if your careful about high tide times, you can park on the road as far as I know but it does flood so be careful! There are a smattering of pubs/cafes around.

    It was quite a dull grey winters day when I visited Bosham, I arrived just before high-tide the racing sail boats where just entering the water. The church was very atmospheric Great sense of ancient Saxon times. Good cafe on the main road , they also great knowledge of the church opening times etc. Nice day. Thanks

    Lovely walk around Bosham. Its a very picturesque place to visit. We even spotted a grass snake as the tide was coming in, who merrily swam away from us.

    Such a quaint, cute village with amazing views and the doors on people’s homes are so fun to see. These pictures just do not do it justice. I only wish I had better company as the people we were staying and traveling with were well…challenging…that’s actually an understatement. Suffice to say, we don’t talk to these radio rental people. We learned to keep our circle small, but hey ho back to the review…this area is a nice place to visit.

    A lovely walk, lots of waterfowl and check the tides to park safely or cycle the most road.

  • 5/5 Andy V. 2 years ago on Google
    Spent a beautiful, sunny December afternoon strolling along the water's edge. We visited when the water was at an accessible level, but it does rise and cover the road, so worth checking before you visit. There's a pub that sits over looking the water, if you fancy a drink whilst enjoying the view.

    Lovely quiet place ( except on a weekend) lovely views, nice walks ( when the tide is out), nice pub and coffee shop

  • 5/5 David C. 2 years ago on Google
    I have been to Bosham many times to visit my wife's uncle who lives in the High Street. I would recommend a visit. There is an excellent pub in the High Street named The Anchor Blue serving good food. The church, Holy Trinity is a lovely little church with much history. Also, the Quay is interesting, with many yachts and small boats. There is a large carpark on the outskirts of the village with approximately a 5 minute walk to the High Street. There are couple of shops, a coffee shop and a Gallery. ENJOY!!
