Chichester

United Kingdom / England / Chichester /

Chichester is an historic cathedral city in and the county town of West Sussex, within the historic County of Sussex, South-East England. It has a long history as a settlement; its Roman past and its subsequent importance in Anglo-Saxon times are only its beginnings. It is the seat of a bishopric, with a 12th century cathedral, and is home to some of the oldest churches and buildings in Great Britain. It has a population of about 24,000.

Chichester today is a local government stronghold, with three levels of government being administered there. Namely West Sussex County Council, Chichester District Council and Chichester City Council (given the status of a self-governing parish by the Local Government Act 1974). It is also a transport hub, and the centre for culture in the region, with a Festival theatre and two art galleries. Nearby Chichester Harbour, together with the South Downs and the city walls, provide opportunities for outdoor pursuits.
