Nymans

The Gorse Fox and Silver Vixen decided that an outing was called for in celebration of their wedding anniversary.

After brief debate, Nymans was chosen:

"Do you fancy a trip to Nymans?"
"Yes"

Well, GF said it was brief

Nymans is a National Trust property on the Sussex High Weald. It was developed over three generations of the Messel family, in the 20th Century.
Not far from Handcross, this huge estate looks out over the Weald and south-west towards the coast. The thirty acres of themed planting are surrounded by many hundreds of acres of woodland.

The main route through the primary gardens starts with the pinetum. This fantastic collection is interspersed with rich Acers... and demand a return visit in the autumn.
