Bishop's Palace Garden

About

Nestling between the south-western edge of the Cathedral and the City Walls lie the beautiful Bishop’s Palace Gardens, a public park maintained by the city. This peaceful lush oasis is almost hidden away in the centre of Chichester, offering a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The gardens date back to 1147-1148 and have recently undergone a major refurbishment. Visitors can enjoy the addition of water features, new seating, and a pergola walk, all designed to enhance the natural beauty of the space. The improvements also include better access and the creation of a wildlife-friendly garden, making it a perfect spot to unwind and connect with nature.

Whether you're looking to take a leisurely stroll, enjoy a quiet moment with a book, or simply soak in the historical ambiance, Bishop's Palace Gardens provides a delightful experience for all. Admission is by donation, with a recommended contribution of £7.00 per person, ensuring that everyone can enjoy this historic gem in the heart of Chichester.
