The Old Rectory, Warbleton

Nestled in the High Weald AONB, The Old Rectory garden was re-imagined by renowned designer Arne Maynard. His vision blends formal elements like yew and beech topiary, a knot garden, and herbaceous borders with wild flowers and rambling roses. A stream separates the formal garden from an orchard interplanted with roses and wild flowers. Over 3000 tulips bloom in spring.

About The Old Rectory, Warbleton

The Old Rectory, Kingsley Hill, Warbleton, East Sussex TN21 9P
@TheOldRectoryGarden

Nestled in a fold in the East Sussex AONB, a house has stood on this site for nearly 900 years. However the 2 acre garden was recently re-imagined and laid out by leading garden designer Arne Maynard. His aim was to create a romantic garden that sits comfortably in its surroundings, blends the formality of new yew and beech topiary, a small knot garden and over brimming herbaceous borders with wild flowers, rambling roses and the timeless countryside it sits in.

A small stream divides the formal gardens from the orchard, now interplanted with roses that scramble through the trees and naturalised wild flowers, among which sits a potager style cutting garden.

In April and May over three thousand tulips celebrate the arrival of Spring.

Sorry, no dogs and very limited wheelchair access.
