Local Attractions
Situated about halfway between Portsmouth and Chichester
The Brookfield Hotel is in an ideal location from which to
explore the many varied attractions of the local area at
the western edge of the historic and delightful village of
Emsworth.
Emsworth
village centre is only a short walk away where visitors
can enjoy the range of village shops, relax with a quiet
drink in one of the ten pubs or just savour the
attractions of the village's historic buildings and views
over The Mill Pond. With a population of only 9,000 you
will be pleasantly surprised by what the village has to
offer and may be tempted to return for the annual
Food Festival which in
2006 will be held during the weekend of September 8th
-10th. More energetic
guests may enjoy walking around the shores of
Chichester Harbour which
is only a five minute walk through the fields from the
hotel.
Only a short drive away are the cities of Portsmouth and
Chichester and The South Downs.
Portsmouth offers shopping opportunities, perhaps at the new
development of
Gun Wharf Quay
where you can also see the construction of
Portsmouth's Millennium Tower due to be completed in
2005, sadly five years late and now renamed
The Spinnaker
Tower. Historical attractions abound and include The
Historic Naval Dockyard,
Charles Dickens'
Birth Place and The
D- Day Museum on Southsea
seafront. Portsmouth also has a
ferry port with frequent
and regular sailings to the ports of Normandy, Brittany
and Santander in Spain. For a comprehensive list of

and cultural heritage ranging from its

twentieth century
Festival Theatre. The

and
The Roman Palace at
Fishbourne, the finest example of a Roman Villa in the
UK. Chichester is also the home of The
Royal Military Police
whose head quarters are located in the northern outskirts
of the city. For a comprehensive list of Chichester's
