Description

A walk starting from Emsworth Museum. Oysters have been fished in Emsworth harbour for centuries. At the  height of the industry (second half of the 19th century), almost 5  million oysters a year came out of  Emsworth and almost half the  locally employed population earned their living from fishing and the  industries that supported it, such as boat building. Find out about  this fascinating piece of history as well as having a pleasant walk  around the “Emsworth Oyster Trail”.

      About Emsworth

      Emsworth is a beautiful small town lying at the top of a channel in Chichester Harbour, nestled between the South Downs and the sea. The town has a strong fishing, sailing and boat building heritage but is most famous for producing oysters up until 100 years ago, when all the best hotels and restaurants in London were supplied daily with Emsworth oysters by train.
