Set in the High Weald with splendid views, Nymans features a series of experimental garden designs with spectacular planting and beauty all year round. Springtime sees the bluebells woods explode in a sea of blue, Summer is a exuberant display of colour, Autumn sees rich yellows and fiery orange and Winter is filled with the scent of daphnes. Don’t miss the ancient woods and take a tour around the gothic mansion, half of which is now romantic ruins.

Pop into the garden centre where you can snap up plants propagated from Nymans nursery and refuel in the restaurant serving up delicious home-cooked food.
