Bishop's Palace Garden
Chichester, West Sussex ·
Quick answer
Bishop's Palace Garden in Chichester is not dog-friendly. A Public Space Protection Order, extended in 2023 to run through around 2026, bans dogs entirely from the garden and adjoining Priory Park, with fixed penalty notices for breaches. Dog owners should choose an alternative Chichester walk, such as Kingley Vale National Nature Reserve, instead.

About this walk
Bishop's Palace Garden sits behind Chichester Cathedral, a tranquil walled garden with mature trees, herbaceous borders and cathedral spire views. However, dogs are not permitted anywhere in the garden or neighbouring Priory Park, under a Public Space Protection Order enforced by Chichester District Council. Owners visiting Chichester should look elsewhere for a dog walk; fixed penalty notices apply for breaches, even for dogs kept on a lead.

🅿️ Parking
