West Dean Gardens
A place of tranquility and beauty in the rolling South Downs all year round, West Dean features a restored walled kitchen garden with some of the finest Victorian glasshouses in the country.
A circular walk through a 49-acre arboretum offers breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside and the estate's fine flint house in its parkland setting. Rustic summerhouses, a 300ft Edwardian pergola, ornamental borders and a 
pond contrast with over 200 varieties of carefully trained fruit trees, rows of vegetables and exotic produce behind glass.
The visitor centre has a licensed restaurant and gift shop. Events take place throughout the summer.
