Emsworth holidays are the ideal choice for a relaxing UK holiday situated on a tranquil harbour and surrounded by pristine countryside. The town has a long history stretching back to the Saxons and was a small but important port during the 18^th and 19^th centuries as well as a busy oyster fishing centre. Evidence of the fascinating heritage can be seen throughout Emsworth in historic buildings such as the Old Pharmacy on the High Street and along the harbour. There are also two tidal millponds to the east and west of the town which make for enjoyable walking and some diverse wildlife spotting. Round your UK holiday in Emsworth off with a visit to one of the 9 welcoming pubs in town and enjoy unwinding with the friendly locals.   

 

As well as enjoying the town itself, a holiday in Emsworth means you are ideally situated for exploring both Hampshire and West Sussex. Emsworth is just 20 minutes drive from Portsmouth to the west and Chichester to the east, both offering thriving centres for shopping and dining. Equally, both Hayling Island and Thorney Island are situated just south of Emsworth and can be reached in ten minutes by car or an enjoyable hour or so walking. Hayling Island boasts a quiet stretch of sandy beach which is good for sailing and windsurfing while Thorney Island has an RSPB Nature Reserve on its southern sandbank. Just two more reasons to enjoy a relaxing UK holiday in Emsworth.
