There is much to see and do within easy
travelling distance of ‘Stelling’ which is situated on the eastern edge of
the village of Emsworth with its many attractions. It is just a ten minute
walk into the village centre to enjoy the sites of this historic and
picturesque area with its boatyards, light industry, shops, restaurants and
pubs and a five minute walk to
Emsworth Marina. The more adventurous might enjoy one of the many local walks to
the ‘Royal Oak’ situated on
the water’s edge at Langstone, around the Chidham Peninsular or Thorney
Island. There are numerous other walks to the north along the South Downs
Way passing many villages and the Nature Reserve at Kingley Vale.
A short distance to the east lies the village of Bosham with its ancient
church, history and sailing facilities. The nearby Roman Palace at
Fishbourne

hire is also at Fishbourne on the A259.
The historic church of St. Thomas-a-Becket lies to the west of the village at
Warblington, and there are sandy beaches at Hayling Island.
