Tucked in the village of Handcross, this exquisite garden is well worth visiting. Lovingly maintained by the National Trust, the garden has a long history, with its heyday in the 1930s. The garden's origins date from the late 19th century and it stayed under the ownership of the same family until it was handed over to the Trust. Within the gardens lies the ruin of the house and many more fascinating features.

Hiking

Lovely even on a rainy autumn day. The colours are beautiful and it’s a little quieter than in spring and summer.
