Borde Hill Garden is nestled in 200 acres of English Heritage listed Sussex parkland and woodland, with expansive views across the Sussex Weald and the Ouse Valley. 

Borde Hill Garden is home to a nationally important collection of rare shrubs, champion trees and exotic plants.

Explore Warren Wood, Stephanie’s Glade and Stonepits, with its diverse flora and fauna or enjoy the huge expanse of parkland, perfect for a picnic, BBQ or just an easy country ramble. 

There are also 17 acres of formal gardens to explore, wheelchair and pushchair accessible.

Overlooked by an impressive Elizabethan Tudor mansion, which dates from 1598, there are nine gardens in all, each one planted as a distinctive ‘garden room’. This tradition began in 1892 by the current owner’s great grandfather, and ensures an abundance of colour and interest throughout the seasons.
