Notice:
A visit for all seasons
This magnificent informal landscape garden was laid out in the 18th century by 'Capability' Brown and further developed in the early years of the 20th century by its owner, Arthur G. Soames.
The original four lakes form the centrepiece. There are dramatic shows of daffodils and bluebells in spring, and the rhododendrons and azaleas are spectacular in early summer.
Autumn brings stunning colours from the many rare trees and shrubs, and winter walks can be enjoyed in this garden for all seasons. Visitors can now also explore South Park, 107 hectares (265 acres) of historic parkland, with stunning views.

Travel to us in style on the Bluebell Railway
You can now travel from London Victoria via Croydon to East Grinstead and then down to Sheffield Park on the Bluebell Railway. From there a 10-minute stroll through the park, or at weekends a frequent bus service, will take you right to our door.

Come rain or shine
Enjoy your visit whatever the weather
Don't let the rain spoil your visit. You can borrow a brolly from reception and enjoy a stroll in the garden, or shelter in the restaurant for a tasty treat. The shop even has outdoor gear for sale if you've forgotten your boots for a wet-weather walk or some puddle jumping.
