Sheffield Park and Garden is an incredible place to visit in Uckfield with acres of Grade I listed landscaped garden and lakes, surrounded by historic parkland and woodland.
The Grade I listed garden is a horticultural work of art formed through centuries of landscape design, with influences of 'Capability' Brown and Humphry Repton.
4 stunning lakes form the heart of the garden, with paths circulating through the glades and wooded areas surrounding them.
Each owner has left their impression, which can still be seen today in the layout of the lakes, the construction of Pulham Falls, the planting of Palm Walk and the many different tree and shrub species from around the world.
With free parking for all visitors and brilliant facilities including a bookshop, café, kiosk, guided tours, a picnic area, and being dog friendly - you can't go wrong.
Mims Davies MP said:
“What a therapeutic morning it's been today!
I was thrilled to join the team at Sheffield Park & Garden again today volunteering in their new 'Garden for the Future' planting trees.
The General Manager, Pippa, and her team are looking for volunteers who can spare just a few hours to help them plant thousands of beautiful trees and more as they only have a couple more weeks to go!
They still have some spaces available, so please do get in touch if you're able to take part and would like to spend some time out in the fresh air, in a gorgeous garden, improving our community. Email: kate.sharpe@nationaltrust.org.uk
I can't wait to come back and see if when it's finished in a couple weeks.”
