Wakehurst

Haywards Heath, England

Botanical garden with the world's largest seed conservation project

Wakehurst is Kew Wild Botanic Gardens in Sussex.

Situated in the high Weald, there are more than 500 acres of ornamental gardens, woodlands and a nature reserve to be explored. An Elizabethan mansion stands majestically in the grounds. This is the perfect backdrop to formal gardens and managed lawns which bleed gently out into the wilder landscape. Wakehurst is also home to the Millenium Seed Bank, the largest wild seed conservation project in the world.

There is plenty to see and do at Wakehurst – a stunning walled garden, water gardens, and meadowland are just a small part of what you can experience.

Children will love the natural play spaces and nature lovers will delight in spotting unusual flora, fungi and wildlife in the reserve.

The stables restaurant and seed café both selling hot food, delicious cakes and fresh coffee will make sure your day is a memorable one.

Dogs are not permitted and parking charges apply.
