Ten-Foot Pond and Sheffield Park House
Ten-Foot Pond and Sheffield Park House
This informal landscape garden located in the Mid Sussex Countryside, 5 miles from Haywards Heath, was laid out in the 18th century by 'Capability' Brown and further developed in the early years of the 20th century by its owner, Arthur G. Soames.

The original four lakes form the centrepiece. There are dramatic shows of daffodils and bluebells in spring, and the rhododendrons and azaleas are spectacular in early summer. Autumn brings stunning colours from the many rare trees and shrubs, and winter walks can be enjoyed in this garden for all seasons.

The Park is owned by the National Trust, Website: LinkExternal link
