Dell Quay, Fishbourne Channel, West Sussex.
A perfect cycle stop; these cool early mornings always quiet, watching the sunlight lift the harbour haze.

Fascinating to explore Fishbourne Roman Palace, built 1stC CE & one of the grandest Roman residences ever found in Britain. It was excavated in the 1960s following a chance discovery when workmen were digging a trench for a water pipe #fishbourne #romanbritain #romans #roman #fishbourneromanpalace
