Pashley Manor is a quintessential English garden located on the Sussex and Kent border in the heart of South East England’s garden country. Pashley offers a sumptuous blend of romantic landscaping, imaginative plantings and fine old trees, fountains, springs and large ponds.

We recommend a minimum of two hours to visit the Gardens, however, most groups stay much longer than this, enjoying the delicious lunches and teas available from the Garden Room Café.
