Bognor Regis Blue Plaque Trail

The Bognor Regis Blue Plaque Trail


The Bognor Regis Blue Plaque Trail celebrates people and events that have either lived in or influenced the seaside town of Bognor Regis. The trail is focussed primarily on Blue Plaques but also includes memorial plaques and stones. The trail commences at Bognor Regis Pier, then heading west to Marine Park Gardens, then back through the town to Hotham Park Gardens and ending at Dome House.
This is the longest of the Heritage Trails and visitors should allow at least two hours to complete the trail.

 

Parking: Regis Centre

Walk the Trail

  • Distance: 3 miles

End of the Trail

This ends the Bognor Regis Blue Plaque Trail and visitors can return to the Regis Centre Car Park by either walking back down Gloucester Road to the seafront or strolling back through Hotham Park.

New Blue Plaques will be added to the trail over time and this version is up to date as of March 2019.

There are further interesting Blue Plaques in the neighbouring parishes of Felpham and Aldwick notably William Blake and William Hayley who resided in Felpham. Further information on these can be found in Sylvia Endacott’s study referred to below.
