Petworth’s ancient trees are a must-see, and their natural beauty has been brought indoors for a new exhibition featuring nine incredibly detailed drawings of different specimens from Petworth, each including GPS coordinates so you can discover the tree for yourself.

Petworth was never built to receive the 160,000 visitors it has every year. To ensure we can look after the house, the collection and the interiors we close off rooms over the winter to ensure Petworth can survive for as long as possible for future generations to enjoy.
