Arun Retractable Footbridge

Highlight • Bridge

This is a pretty cool bridge, as it is one of the few retractable steel pedestrian footbridges in existence. The bridge linking East and West Littlehampton across the River Arun in 1981 has a retractable steel section to allow access to any piloted vessels upriver. It gives great views up and down the River Arun from here too.

River Arun Pedestrian Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The original swing bridge was designed to replace a ferry in 1908 - which was then also later replaced by this smaller retractable pedestrian bridge. When fully functional the bridge opens twice daily for river traffic to pass through.

You can read all about it via the handy information board! (See pic).

Littlehampton Promenade

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Promenade is a beautiful & vibrant destination in the seaside town of Littlehampton consisting of a long wide walkway that runs parallel to the beach.

The promenade is home to a few lovely little cafés and beachfront shops, including the East Beach Cafe, which is a unique-looking eatery with some fantastic views out to the sea.
