Good place to spend some time close to nature with lots of plants/trees to admire. There are few benches to sit & relax. Free entry and Free Car park. There is South downs trail near to the car park.

Height barrier. Staff refused to open. We travelled a long way in a camper van. Avoid unless in a car. Such a shame given other positive reviews.

This is a lovely place to stroll round any time of year with lots of hidden corners and a wealth of plants to admire. Great for children to explore. Such a privilege that the gardens belong to the people of Worthing.

Used to be a very well managed and manicured network of gardens, with distinct areas of beautiful & rare plants and trees. Now it feels bare and unloved. Had high hopes for what was meant to be a ‘multi million pound’ renovation project but the only clear difference (besides lots of flowers having been pulled up) is the addition of some basic signage and a tiny cabin which serves little purpose.
A couple of areas have actually been sealed off instead of restored. Disappointed to see the cherry trees removed which once lined the entrance pathway. Hopefully there’ll be a 2nd phase to the project with the lottery fund money actually used.
