In and around West Sussex

The gardens are sleeping at Sheffield Park and Garden, Petworth Park and Nymans, but there's still plenty of beauty in the winter light and sculptural trees. Don’t miss winter's highlights, we have all the top spots here.

Clear your head with a winter walk and discover the very best of the Sussex countryside. See the deer at Petworth Park and ancient trees outlined in the mists. Watch reflections on the lakes at Sheffield Park and Garden. Or walk through wintery woodlands at Nymans, Standen and the South Downs.

Wander around the Arts & Crafts garden at Standen and find a moment of peace on woodland walks in the wider estate. Winter brings frosty trimmings to the landscape and garden.

Acres of landscape garden bordered by historic parkland and woodland await at Sheffield Park and Garden. The garden is revealed in winter with sculptural branches framing magnificent views.

Explore the historic parkland at Petworth with its majestic views and herd of fallow deer. Wander in the footsteps of artists in the Pleasure Grounds.

Colour in the garden lasts well into the autumn at Nymans, against the romantic backdrop of the house and ruins. Watching the trees change colour across the arboretum and garden make this a very special time of year to visit.
