Parham House & Gardens
Recommended by
Overview
Parham House and Gardens is set within 875 acres in the South Downs of Sussex, and was a 16th-century deer park. Its tranquillity and timeless beauty have changed little over the centuries. Parham is a much-loved family home and is one of the country’s finest Elizabethan houses, complete with a great hall and long gallery. It is home to collections of rare paintings, furniture, needlework and antiquities. The gardens consist of beautiful pleasure grounds and a four-acre walled garden with stunning herbaceous borders, a glasshouse, vegetable garden, orchard and a 1920s Wendy House.

About the area
Divided from East Sussex back in 1888, West Sussex has a variety of landscapes and coastal scenery, but it is the spacious and open South Downs with which the county is most closely associated. There are plenty of walking routes in the South Downs National Park, cycling routes by the sea or visitors can explore the pretty town of Arundel with its historic castle and buildings.
