The distinctive ‘garden rooms’ include the vibrant Azalea Ring; fabulous Rose Garden; formal Italian Garden; sub-tropical Round Dell; spectacular woodland displays of rhododendrons and bluebells. The extensive Parkland with adventure playground and lakes is ideal for the family to picnic and play. At the centre of the Garden, the Elizabethan Mansion House, provides an impressive backdrop for photo shoots and filming and a unique venue for conferences. « less

We visited in mid-April. Borde Hill Garden is fairly compact, with lovely views from the Garden of Allah over the Sussex countryside and the Ouse Valley Viaduct; the views to the front of the house are over the ha-ha towards the lakes. There are lots of different areas within the garden itself to visit - tucked away along the winding... More

Wonderful for blue bells and spring flowers. Roses in season but not enough to hold interest for all day.

Last week I took my step son, a friend and her children to Borde Hill for their Halloween Week. We'd not been before, but I had seen an article in The Argus and thought we'd give it a go.
