| This
garden at West Dean is set in a beautiful valley in the glorious Sussex
countryside. The gardens surround the large house which is now used as a college. Look out for the 300 foot pergola designed by Harold Peto the famous designer. It is beautifully dressed with clematis, roses and wisteria with underplantings including day lilies, ferns, lamium and geraniums. At one end is a Gazebo and in the centre is a formal pond. There is a pretty sunken garden, lily pond and one of the finest walled kitchen gardens in the country. Plenty to see throughout the seasons and worth visiting several times a year. Outside the formal gardens there is extensive parkland with beautiful old trees. |
