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.

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.

The views down the valley and the surrounding countryside are simply beautiful. Typical stunning South Downs countryside.

An amble up Firle Beacon in the South Downs of southern England. It is 217 metres high and is a Marilyn. It commands a far-reaching view. It is a trig pointed summit and a designated Marilyn.

So peaceful up here! On a clear day you’ll be able to see for miles!

Great spot for a picnic

One of my favourite Sussex Beacons - Firle Beacon is relatively unique in that it offers fantastic open views over Mount Caburn, near Lewes. Even when the weather is bleak, cloudy, windy, raining and the views are minimal, it’s an energising spot that makes me feel alive. The summit has clearly been a popular spot for centuries as there are several interesting archaeological earthworks at the summit and it has its own legend as well i.e. the earthworks include a long barrow, known as the “Giant’s Grave”, apparently the resting place of the giant that slew the Wilmington Giant who fell on a nearby hillside now marked by the Long Man of Wilmington.
