The gardens have always been a particular feature of Titsey Place and have been enjoyed by many generations. Recently, much work has been done to improve and enhance them.
Standing on the upper terrace is the perfect place to enjoy the long views across the Darent Valley, which extends to the beginnings of the South Downs.
Box link beds
The box link beds were planted over 150 years ago and have been carefully pruned ever since. The fountain at the centre of the lower terrace is a copy of one found in the Cloisters at Eton College. The two herbaceous borders that frame the lower terrace have recently been replanted, and in late summer these are now flushed with vibrant colours.
The Golden Jubilee Rose Garden was opened by Peter Ainsworth MP in 2002. It was replanted and redesigned in order to commemorate Her Majesty The Queen’s Golden Jubilee.

The Main Garden
Small statues of the four seasons frame the entrances. Here is a place to relax amid the sweet scent of the roses and lavender, which border
