About Shamley Wood Estate

A relative newcomer, this garden is worth visiting just for the setting! Sitting high on the North Downs, the garden enjoys beautiful views of the South Downs and is approached through a 10 acre deer park. Set within approximately 3 acres, there is a large pond and established rose garden. More recent additions include a stream, fire pits, dry garden, heather, vegetable garden and woodland walk.

There are a number of sculptures to find, including hippos and several pieces of driftwood art. The garden is fun for children (we have 3 here) and they may be available to show small guests some hidden dens! There is a small children’s play area and easy access to some beautiful footpaths for those with dogs to walk.
