アックフィールドの天然記念物・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. The current opening times and further information can be found here: https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/sussex/sheffield-park-and-garden.

Atop this glorious viewpoint, you find a memorial to A. A. Milne, the English author best known as the creator of Winnie-the-Pooh, and his collaborator, E. H. Shepard. On the plaque there is a quote from The House at Pooh Corner, which reads: “And by and by they came to an enchanted place on the very top of the Forest called Galleons Lap.” Around this area you find lots of places featured in Winnie-the-Pooh.

This clearing surrounded by fir trees appears in the Winnie the Pooh book as "Galleons Lap" or "the Enchanted Place." Next to it, there is also a trig point.

Although they are now located on private land, these grey sandstone rock outcrops can still be easily seen. They have a rich history, as far back as the Mesolithic era when they served as shelters for hunting parties.
