Chichester is home to the Festival Theatre, Pallant House Gallery and the Novium Museum. The city, with its cathedral, parks and gardens, sits at the end of the Chichester canal which provides a link to Chichester Harbour, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The city has a rich ecclesiastical history. The cathedral, dating back to Norman times, provides, with its Victorian spire, a landmark over the Sussex Plains and towards the Goodwood Estate. Attractions in the city include the Roman Walls walk, the Planetarium, multiplex cinema and bowling complex as well as cycle paths which link to the Centurion, Salterns and Bill Ways.
