Nymans

In the late 19th century an unusually creative family bought the Nymans estate, in the picturesque High Weald landscape of Sussex, to make a home in the country. Inspired by the setting and the soil, the Messels created one of the great gardens, with experimental designs and new plants from around the world. Here they entertained family and friends, enjoying relaxing times, strolling in the garden, playing, picnicking and walking in the woods. Enjoy Nymans in the way they did. We are reinventing Nymans for the 21st century by running the estate in a new, greener way. Note: now open seven days per week.
