| One of the greatest 20th-century gardens in the country, a family home and beautiful woodland estate. The Nymans Estate is the achievement of three generations of the Messel family. Created in the 20th century it is one of the great gardens of the Sussex Weald, internationally known for its beauty, atmosphere and collection of rare and important plants. There are wonderful views over the Sussex countryside towards the South Downs. Rooms on the ground floor of the house are displayed largely as the family would have used them in the early part of the 20th century. The ruins left by a fire in 1947 form a romantic backdrop to the garden. The 275 acres of woodland include walks, a conifer avenue, cascades and a lake. | | | | Group bookings Wed–Sat only (excludes BH weekends). Pre-booked guided tours available | | |  | Guided tours
