(on the A128, 1 mile South of the A127)

Usually open to the public as part of the National Gardens Scheme and all proceeds from open days are donated to charity.

There is a car museum available to us to have a look around. The museum is only open a few days a year. There are 34 cars. They were built between 1896 and 1934, some of them take part in the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run. There are also Motorbikes, Trikes and sidecar combinations.

The 22 hectares of gardens at Barnards Farm range from landscaped walks through young woodland to the precise detail of the Japanese garden. The more formal gardens including a parterre, herbaceous borders, a living wall and the vegetable garden are found nearer the house. A walk through the managed landscape will take in the long avenue, a stream, ponds, and the wood. A striking feature in the SW corner is the belvedere, planted largely with roses providing a blaze of colour in summer.
