West Dean Gardens
At the foot of the beautiful South Downs, West Dean Gardens in West Sussex is a short bus ride or a two-hour walk (along the Centurion Way) from Chichester. It is one of the most splendid restored gardens open to the public.
Enjoy the tearoom (their cake selection is excellent), stroll through the gardens, including a walled garden, walk the extensive grounds, visit the historic house and make a day of it.
If you want to combine history with natural splendour, West Dean is well worth visiting!
