Standen

Whilst the gardens at Standen are not manicured they are never the less worth visiting when combined with a visit to this Arts and Crafts movements house.
Formal and colourful borders border the House whilst paths take you to different areas of the 13 acre gardens which are mainly informal.
The gardens are pretty in spring with  rhododendrons, camellias and azaleas with spring bulbs.
In the summer see the rose garden, and then take time to visit the house which is full of Morris carpets, wallpapers and furnishings.
