Bishop's Palace Gardens
A free garden right next to the cathedral, enclosed by the old city walls. From the lawn you can look up at the cathedral spire, a classic viewpoint.
The garden was once part of the Bishop of Chichester's palace. It is now a free public garden. The city walls form its southern boundary. The garden includes a rose garden, a herb garden, and large lawns, and its flower borders are lush in summer. From the north side of the garden, you can photograph the cathedral spire and bell tower together, making it a favorite spot for locals to picnic and stroll. The entrance is on Canon Lane, on the south side of the cathedral. It is an easy walk after visiting the cathedral, and you can continue along the southern section of the city walls.
