Courtyard Gardens

Walled and private, colourful and stylish, courtyard gardens are the hidden treasures to be found in many of our streets. The garden at Victoria House, Victoria Place, Montpelier has to be seen, with its Victorian summer house and secret second garden down a flight of stairs. You might also want to pay a visit to the small paved courtyard garden of a Sussex Square house at 28 Bristol Gardens, Kemp Town where bougainvilleas flower and citrus trees and bananas fruit.
