Garden Map

Plan your visit by viewing a map of our nationally important Garden. Most paths in the formal Garden are step-free and accessible to those with restricted mobility. However, there are some steps and steep slopes which are indicated on the map. The uneven terrain in the Parkland and Woodland is unsuitable for wheelchairs and buggies.

There are plenty of benches located around the Garden for relaxing and taking in the sights should you want to stop for a rest.

Sussex Life

Article by Angela Wintle

"A living link with the golden era of Edwardian plant hunting. Many of its rare plants were collected in remote areas of China, Burma and South America by death-defying botanists.
