From there we will wind our way across the fields following the dried up canal through Lidsey to Colworth to Runcton. After stopping for lunch we will then join the existing Chichester canal at Pointz Bridge fork (where Turner did his famous painting of Chichester Cathedral) before following the path to Chichester & the rail station which is the end point for this leg.
