Brief description
"Sheffield Park Garden is an informal landscape garden five miles east of Haywards Heath, in East Sussex, England. It was originally laid out in the 18th century by Capability Brown, and further developed in the early 20th century by its then owner, Arthur Gilstrap Soames. It is now owned by the National Trust. Parking is free to all visitors. Please note Sheffield Park House is a private residence and not open to the public."

Directions
"By road
We are located midway between East Grinstead and Lewes, 5 miles north-west of Uckfield, on the east side of A275 (between A272 and A22). If approaching north-bound from Lewes, we are just past the Bluebell Railway, over the River Ouse bridge on the right. Coming south-bound from the A22 Wych Cross, follow the brown signs for Sheffield Park and the Bluebell Railway.
Parking: Parking is free and we have accessible parking available. Our car park can become busy and sometimes full during the peak seasons in May and October. Occasionally we have to close the car park to avoid queues onto the busy A275. We ask that you avoid parking on the A275 in these instances as it dangerous for you and other road users. Please note we have speed bumps on our driveway which may not be suitable for low clearance vehicles.
SatNav: Follow the brown signs for Sheffield Park and the Bluebell Railway.
By cycle
We are south of National Route 21 coming from London/East Grinstead and east of National Route 20 running from London to Brighton.
On foot
We are accessible on foot from the Bluebell Railway. A footpath is clearly signed up from the A275 to the garden through the parkland, which is a 10-15 minute walk. We are also adjacent to the Ouse Valley Way public footpath which runs along much of the River Ouse from Nymans Garden to Lewes."
