Nesting peregrines have thrilled people at Chichester Cathedral since 2002.

Chichester Cathedral peregrines

Visit our viewpoint at Chichester Cathedral and see the fastest creature on the planet - the peregrine falcon.

Get close to the nesting family with CCTV images beamed live from the nest to a screen in the Cloisters cafe and restaurant.

Once the young leave the nest for their first flights, you won't miss a thing as we move the viewpoint to the 'Paradise' access point.

As the peregrines twist and turn above you chasing prey, our friendly staff and volunteers will be on hand with telescopes to point them out to you, and answer your questions.

There is no charge for the project itself, however there are variable parking costs in the city centre.
