This breathtaking informal landscape garden was laid out by Capability Brown in the 18th century, and the park was further enhanced during the 20th century by its owner Arthur G. Soames. Today it is managed by the National Trust. Located close to the Sheffield Park Garden is the Sheffield Park House, a Gothic country house which is beautifully preserved.

The centre piece of the park is undoubtedly the chain of lakes. The garden’s original design was one of trees, lawns and two serpentine lakes; however this design has been modified and today it includes a chain of five lakes and cascading waterfalls.

This 120 acre parkland is best seen during spring when they are a kaleidoscope of colour with daffodils in full bloom and narcissus and azaleas also joining in. The autumn months also bring with it a spectacular display of natural beauty as the earthy brown and orange hues of the leaves create an amazing transformation of the park’s trees. Located near Haywards Heath in East Sussex this beautiful parkland is easily accessible from the Copthorne Hotel Effingham Gatwick which provides you with convenient accommodation near Gatwick Airport. This well-appointed hotel provides an array of amenities and gracious hospitality assuring a pleasurable stay.
