Manhood Peninsula Partnership Caring for Chichester’s Coastal Communities. The Manhood Peninsula Partnership was inspired by local residents to promote a sustainable way forward for addressing the environmental, social and economic challenges posed to the area by climate change.
Manhood Peninsula Partnership Coastal Management A large part of the Manhood is less than 5m above sea level and at risk from flooding, both inland and coastal. It is likely that climate change will increase this risk, through rising sea levels, rising water tables and increased precipitation intensity. Drainage is an increasing problem in the Manhood as the existing ditches are proving inadequate to handle increased run-off resulting from recent development and heavier rainfall. Plans...
Manhood Peninsula Partnership Climate Change The Manhood Peninsula is particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change including rising sea levels, rising water table, and more intense precipitation. As a result, the MPP has been working closely with the community to raise levels of awareness and to help produce adaptation plans. These include: practical adaptations funded through a Community Grant Fund including the installation of cycle racks at East Wittering School; the provision of water butts...

East Wittering and Bracklesham are two villages lying adjacent to each other in the attractive coastal setting of Bracklesham Bay. The villages are quietly removed from the hustle and bustle of busier towns, and are known for the fantastic expanses of sandy beach exposed at low tide. These extend along the coast to East Head .

Watersports are an excellent reason for visiting the area, and activities can include pottering round exposed rock pools or taking the plunge with a local dive school and book a course allowing you to visit HMS Hazardous, one of Britain’s Protected Wrecks. Explore further back in time by discovering fossils on one of the walks organised by geologists with an extensive knowledge of the area.

Self catering accomodation is easy to find, while on the outskirts of the villages there are sites for tents caravans and motor homes. For more information about the area it is worth visiting the East Wittering and Bracklesham website.
