Listed by English Heritage as being of Grade II* historic importance and set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the High Weald, Borde Hill is of national botanical importance and features one of the largest collections of privately owned champion trees in the UK, with over 95 specimens.

Set within 383 acres of heritage listed Parkland, it is a paradise for plants in the heart of Sussex which captivates and delights visitors with a series of intimate living ‘Garden rooms’. The Rose Garden designed by RHS gold medal winner Robin Williams in 1996 and named after Andrewjohn and Eleni Stephenson Clarke’s daughter, this garden now has over 750 fragrant David Austin English roses and is a real feast for the senses. The Italian Garden is one of the most popular rooms in the Garden. Here you will find a formal lily pool with panoramic views stretching across the South Park and lakes, surrounded by Italian style plantings. The Paradise Walk connects the South Lawn and West of the Garden. This colourful gentle ramble of a route, previously known as The Long Walk, winds its way along the tall stone southern boundary wall of the Garden and provides access to the Italian Garden, Round Dell and Old Potting Sheds. The Round Dell is where exotic sub-tropical plants have flourished in the micro-climate of this secret, sunken garden for many years.

Beyond the formal Garden, visitors can explore our historic Woodland, the South Park with tranquil lakes, and enjoy outstanding views across the Sussex High Weald.

However you want to immerse yourself in nature, there’s no better place to do it than surrounded by the beauty and tranquility of Borde Hill.
