Flowers and colours appear through every season. Birdsong is ever present and if you sit a while you can watch robins, wrens, blackbirds, blue tits, great tits, woodpeckers, nuthatches and other visitors.
There are a number of beautiful footpaths and bridleways directly from our parking area. You are welcome to visit here on your walk of the West Sussex Literary Trail, have a picnic after seeing the bluebells only 10 minutes walk down the bridle way in the Spring or have a break on your cycle to take in the peace and quiet. You are invited to spend some time enjoying the peace of the Blue Idol garden. An opportunity to take some space for reflection and contemplation. People of all backgrounds, walks of life and faiths, or none, are warmly welcomed.
