Donnington

Donnington is a village in two parts. The northern part of Donnington is fast becoming a suburb of Chichester - give it another 30 years and the only gap between this part of Donnington and Chichester will be the land which already has the A27 Chichester bypass racing through it.

The southern part of Donnington is much more attractive however.

The land is very flat, forming the northern part of the Manhood Peninsula. Whenever you look north, the spire of Chichester Cathedral and the South Downs form a beautiful backdrop to the landscape.

Chichester Canal runs through the parish of Donnington. Because the towpath here is less developed than the Hunston section of the canal, this is a lovely quiet spot, with a particularly enjoyable walk towards the sea and Chichester Yacht Basin north of Birdham.

This is good spot to spot swans, coots and moorhens too.
