Chichester Audio Tour: An Odyssey Through Time and Treasure

A lone stone spire pierces Chichester’s skyline, hinting at centuries of upheaval and hidden tales beneath its quiet surface. This self-guided audio tour leads through winding streets and secret corners, unlocking stories most visitors never hear—dramatic fires, vanished treasures, rebellious schoolboys, and unexpected marvels lurking behind ancient and modern walls.

What catastrophe left the mighty cathedral spire tumbling down in broad daylight? Which lost Roman bath slept beneath the city for millennia until modern builders unearthed it? Why did one centuries-old school nearly vanish after a brush with crisis only to rise again in song and laughter?

Step from soaring arches to sleek glass facades and timeless courtyards, moving through episodes of political intrigue, scandalous reforms, feisty choirs, and breathtaking survival. This is Chichester as few ever experience it—a living tapestry stitched with echoes, secrets, and new beginnings.

Look up at that spire once more—and let your journey through Chichester’s drama begin.
