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.
