Bognor Regis Pier and Western Bognor Regis

The trail explores the western area of the town starting at the pier


The trail explores the western area of the town starting at the pier; the trail takes visitors through one of the most interesting conservation areas of the town. It looks at the links between the western part of town and Sir Richard Hotham’s vision for the town. The trail covers some 200 years of the town’s history and development ending at Marine Park Gardens and the remains of the Mulberry Harbour section from World War 2.
