The Cowdray Heritage Ruins are one of England’s most important early Tudor houses and Cowdray is known to have been visited by both King Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I. In September 1793, whilst undergoing repairs and refurbishments for the impending marriage of the 8th Viscount Montague, a devastating fire took hold and most of the property was destroyed. The Kitchen Tower is the only part of the mansion to remain intact. https://www.cowdray.co.uk/historic-cowdray/

This beautiful 18th century stone bridge carries the causeway leading to the ruins of Cowdray mansion over the River Rother. The bridge is a Grade II* listed structure.

This tree is called "Queen Elizabeth I Oak" and is without any doubt, the most famous tree in Cowdray Park. Queen Elizabeth I would have visited this tree in 1591, which was at that time already an impressive tree. Its girth of 13.18m (2021) makes this Sessile Oak (Quercus petraea) the second thickest tree of its kind in Europe. According to Jeroen Pater this tree is probably about 600 to 700 years, while according to dendrologists of the British Tree Register, this tree might be almost a 1,000 years old. https://www.monumentaltrees.com/en/gbr/england/westsussex/975_cowdraypark/1738/

South pond is a historic and scenic pond in Midhurst, West Sussex, England. It is fed by two streams that were once the boundaries of Saxon settlements, and it forms the division between the oldest part of Midhurst and West Lavington. The pond was created in the mid-1100s by one of the medieval lords of Midhurst, who dammed the streams to make a breeding pool for fish. The pond has been used for various purposes over the centuries, such as milling, fulling, leather production, and entertainment. The pond is now a nature reserve and a popular spot for walking, fishing, and birdwatching. It is part of the South Downs National Park and has a rich biodiversity of plants and animals. The pond is also home to the South Pond Group, a voluntary community group that works to care for and improve the pond and its surroundings. The group organizes regular events, activities, and projects to engage the public and enhance the pond’s beauty and value.
