West Dean

From Itchenor we headed back towards Chichester and then onwards towards Midhurst. The planned destination was West Dean (where we went for the Chilli Fiesta a week or so back).

Part of the plan was a bite to eat in the restaurant before wandering around the gardens. When we got there, however, the only option was cream teas. We took these outside and sat there attracting legions of wasps to our jam and cream. Undeterred, we munched our way through the scones and washed them down with several cups of tea.

Sated, were cleared away and headed for the gardens.



We moved on and found our way to the sunken garden (currently being refurbished) and then on to the pergola. It was gorgeous - framing views across the downs, and reflecting the structure in the ponds.
