About Emsworth
Emsworth is a picturesque town located in
the upper reaches of
Chichester
Harbour,
with narrow streets and a busy harbour-side,
charming pubs and restaurants and a host of
small specialist shops. Tucked away in
the south east corner of Hampshire on the
shore of Chichester Harbour, Emsworth is a
quiet and attractive yet vibrant and dynamic
town where residents wouldn't live anywhere
else and visitors can be sure of a friendly
welcome.
Emsworth is popular with sailors, artists,
naturalists and walkers. The two tidal
millponds to east and west are host to a
variety of wild life. Emsworth has a long
history connected with oyster fishing and
boat building and still boasts traditional
shipwrights and chandleries. Its attractive
streets are lined with a mixture of
architectural styles and high walled gardens
and a walk around the town gives a genuine
feel for the past, with exceptional harbour

only 10,000 inhabitants Emsworth has an
extraordinary range of food outlets,
specialist retailers and small businesses.

 Eight
Pubs
Six

Five

A

A
Delicatessen
Shops and other businesses include three
banks, two chemists, five estate agents, six
hairdressers, three florists, the largest
antiques centre on the South Coast and two
undertakers
Less obvious are RBM Anodising, at the
bottom of Sea Gull Lane off North Street,
which has the longest anodising tank in the
UK and the Zen Furniture Workshop, off West
Street which produces hand crafted bespoke
furniture.
It is hardly surprising that
in a
national survey of towns and cities carried
out by The New Economics Foundation in 2006,
Emsworth came 6th in the list of independent
and distinctive towns. No other Hampshire or
Sussex town was even mentioned!
