It's Glorious Goodwood. If you're not a race goer you can still climb to the top of the Trundle and get a panoramic view over Chichester and Goodwood, take a picnic and enjoy.

Itchenor is a sailing village you can walk/cycle to from Sheepwash.
Home of the Itchenor sailing club. You can sit by the water (with an ice cream ?) and watch all the frantic activity of the local sailing fraternity. There is also a foot ferry (bikes and dogs welcome) that takes you across the channel towards Bosham. It's still a lengthy walk to Bosham but well worth it.
