These gardens were derelict until 1986 when they were restored by the Rottingdean Preservation Society, and opened once again and now maintained by the council, taking their name from the village's most famous son, Rudyard Kipling, author of 'Jungle Book'.
Divided into distinct areas of woodland, rose garden, herb section and wild garden - each with their own distinct fragrances and colours. You can picnic in the chalk garden, or feed the ducks of Rottingdean duck pond. Visit the twelfth century church with its famous Burnes Jones stained glass windows, which is adjacent to the gardens.
Entry to Kipling Gardens is Free.
