Sheffield Park, Sussex

The house at Sheffield Park is not open to the public but it does look splendid in the bright spring sunshine.

Views from around one of the lakes are spectacular at any time of the year.

In the autumn these trees are rich reds and browns.

  The colours reflected in the water during autumn are breathtaking 

We usually visit during the latter part of the year but thought for a change it would be nice to see the trees and plants at springtime.

Two of the residents.

Bluebells add a splash of spring colour.

One of the forest paths leading to an area where during the Second World War soldiers were stationed in billets whilst training before going to France.  The foundations of these buildings were removed a couple of years ago and now young trees have been planted in their place.

These bushes were beautiful, I have no idea what the plants are called but the bees loved the tiny pink flowers.
Check out Sheffield Park on the internet to see it in its autumn glory or better still visit if you can.

  1. What a beautiful place! I would love to be able to walk the grounds and see the inside of that mansion. Sounds like you had a great time. Thanks for sharing your photos.

  2. Hello Kimberly,

    Yes this is one of our favourite places, we go there at least once a year. It is about 50 miles from where we live and the drive through the countryside is usually very good.
