ウィアルデンの天然記念物・トップ20

A very beautiful park with many old trees and beautiful plantings. The lakes form the center of the park. Old redwoods and sequoias are found here.

Keep an eye on the weather forecast. It was misty on the day we passed by, and we couldn't see a thing.

Great place to walk or cycle

I can recommend visiting the Long Man of Wilmington (it isn't an ancient Fertility symbol more an artificial 17th century tourist attraction, more fool, the faux American witches I saw there several years ago). However I can't recommend leaving the Long Man pub down the road, at 7.30pm, in January, several days after it snowed and then several days of negative temperatures froze it in place, and then climb straight up past it. There is a path but we decided that would take far too long to divert to it. It was not surprisingly steep.

An absolute highlight on the way from Birling Gap over the cliffs of the Seven Sisters to Saltmarsh Farmhouse, one panoramic view follows the next!!!

Four lakes form the heart of the garden and at the end of the line of sight the Gothic castle rises on a hill. While you can explore all the paths in the garden and the adjacent parkland, the house is privately owned and cannot be visited. The design of the park and the expansion of the house were initiated by John Holroyd at the end of the 19th century. He and his wife spent a fortune to design the property according to their ideas. The park and garden were further designed according to the original plans by subsequent owners. Finally, the National Trust acquired the site and now looks after it. The current opening times and further information can be found here: https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/sussex/sheffield-park-and-garden.

This is quite a challenging walk, we got to the Birling Gap car park early to set off , please note that the cafe opens at 9.30am. The views were breathtaking, everywhere you looked. We stopped at the visitors centre and refuelled and continued the walk, again every footpath had a view, we can across another little cafe stop and continued on. My husband and I both agreed this has been our number one walk and will definitely be doing it again 😊

The Seven Sisters certainly presented a challange with a lot of up and down in the latter quarter of our hike but the views are magnificent.
