Withdean Park

Covering thirty-eight acres, Withdean Park is one of the most beautiful of Brighton's parks, carefully laid out with ornamental shrubs and flowers. Originally farm land, the park site was acquired by the corporation in July 1933.

The park is famous for its collection of lilacs, the second largest in the world with over 250 types, and has been designated by the National Council for the Conservation of Plants and Gardens as the National Reference Collection for the species and cultivars of the genus Syringa (lilacs).
