Visit Chelmsford Lodge

Chelmsford Lodge is located in the residential are of Eastbourne, close to the sea, the Downs and the town centre.

It is a surprisingly large garden of almost an acre, mostly unseen from the road. At the end of a large lawn with colourful flower borders, a brick and flint arched gateway leads to a 'Secret Garden' where there is an arbor, trellis rockery and a large pond surrounded by rose and peony beds.

There are many pretty flowers scattered around the garden, especially from spring and summer bulbs. Many mature tree specimens including red flowering chestnuts, beech, whitebeam and maple.

Your visit helps people in crisis

The Red Cross helps people in the UK and across the world get the support they need in an emergency. With Open Gardens, you'll be raising funds for this important work.
