Spring Flowers in Bognor Regis

The daffodils, crocuses and hyacinths have begun to lift their sleepy heads as the weather slowly becomes less soggy and the days stretch a little longer. So whether you are heading out for a dog walk or simply looking for an excuse to enjoy some fresh air, here is a sprinkling of places to make the most of what spring has to offer in and around Bognor Regis.

Hotham Park

A must for a stroll in Bognor Regis, Hotham Park bursts into life with daffodils and crocuses throughout spring. Depending on when you visit, you will be treated to welcome pops of colour after the grey days of winter.

And if you find yourself there in summer, you will be greeted by beautifully cultivated flower beds, lovingly planted and maintained by the park’s gardeners. So do not worry if you miss the early blooms, there is always something to enjoy in Hotham Park.

Aldwick Village Green

Small but perfectly formed, Aldwick Village Green is framed by trees and offers plenty of space for children and dogs to let off steam. When spring arrives, cheerful daffodils join the scene, adding a splash of seasonal colour to this much loved local spot.

Hothamton Sunken Gardens

Tucked alongside the fun of the play park, you will find spring flowers emerging along the pathways. Throughout the year there is always something in bloom, making it well worth a visit, even if you are simply passing through on your way to the beach as the weather warms.

Bersted Brooks

A wonderful place to appreciate local wildlife, Bersted Brooks is a firm favourite with dog walkers and their four legged friends. After wet weather it can be a little muddy underfoot, so it is worth dressing accordingly or waiting for sunnier days when the ground has had a chance to dry.

Old Rectory Gardens, Felpham

If you are in search of somewhere peaceful, Old Rectory Gardens in Felpham offers a tranquil escape. Just a gentle stroll along the prom brings you to this hidden gem, where you can pause, breathe and enjoy a quieter pace.

Slindon Woods

If you head down to the woods in April or May, you are sure of a big surprise.

Slindon Woods is popular all year round, but it truly comes into its own in late spring. Maintained by the National Trust, the woods are renowned for their stunning blankets of bluebells, creating a magical carpet of colour beneath the trees.

Arundel Castle Tulip Festival

Each year, Arundel Castle puts on a spectacular display of tulips for visitors to enjoy. While entry is ticketed, you can choose garden only admission and still experience the full impact of the vibrant floral displays. It is a wonderful seasonal outing and well worth a visit.

However you choose to spend it, spring in and around Bognor Regis offers plenty of opportunities to step outside and soak up the changing season. From woodland walks and peaceful gardens to colourful park displays, there is something for everyone to enjoy as the town comes back into bloom.
