ニューウィックの天然記念物・トップ11

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.

Great place to walk or cycle

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.

Nice enough trig pointed hilltop and easy enough to get to with grand views out over the South Downs.

Black Cap is a prominent hill located in the South Downs National Park in East Sussex. The hill stands at 206 m high and provides some glorious panoramic views across the surrounding countryside and coastline.

Great view and good spot for a snack

Looking towards the slopes of the Downs escarpment on this section of your ride, you’ll see a wooded V on the hillside. Over 3,000 trees were planted here in 1887 to mark Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee.

This area of the South Downs saw running battles during the Battle of Lewes in 1264, and in more recent history these hills were used by the army as training grounds during WW2. The hard concrete surface descending the scarp slope at Plumpton Bostall was laid at this time as a tank trap. This ridge with views across the Weald towards the High Weald and beyond that the North Downs is part of the Clayton to Offham Escarpment. This is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) for its woodland and chalk grassland. Here you can find many types or orchid including burnt tip orchids, fragrant orchids and frog orchids.
