Nestled at the foot of the South Downs, the Gardens are one of the greatest restored gardens open to the public today. Visitors can explore a wide range of historic features on a gentle walk around the grounds. From surreal trees in the Spring Garden to the sunken garden and restored walled garden, or a parkland walk with views over the South Downs, there's plenty to enjoy.
Whether you are coming on a short course, need a break or are visiting the area, bed and breakfast accommodation at the College offers a tranquil stay complete with free entry to the award-winning gardens and access to the heated swimming pool throughout the Summer.
