Borde Hill Garden

It’s no secret that we are huge dog lovers at Borde Hill and welcome them throughout our Garden, Parkland and Woodland at all times during our open season.

The Garden is located just 1½ miles north of Haywards Heath and 20 minutes north of Brighton. It is set within 383 acres of Grade II* heritage listed landscape in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with outstanding views of the Ouse Valley Viaduct and cross the High Weald.

It was created by Colonel Stephenson Robert Clarke from seeds gathered by the great plant hunters of the early 1900s. It was his philosophy that plants need to be placed in the right place.

The Garden has distinct ‘rooms’, each with its own unique style and character. In the last 30 years many areas have been greatly enhanced and restored including the sub-tropical Round Dell, the sophisticated Rose Garden and romantic Italian Garden. Paradise Walk and the Italian Garden have recently been replanted using new design schemes by garden designer Chris Beardshaw.

An abundance of spring magnolias, camellias and rhododendrons give way to exuberant summer borders of roses and herbaceous plants followed by mellow autumn colour.

Come and experience ‘joyous balance’ and immerse yourself in the beauty of our Estate. From Woodland walks to food and drink events, wellbeing workshops and activities for families, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
