Created in the early 20th century by Dr Wilfrid Fox, this hillside arboretum has now been maintained by the National Trust for 60 years and has built up an internationally significant collection of more than 1,000 different species of shrubs and trees, many of them rare. The Collection and setting are unique and there is always something new to see no matter what time of year. The most impressive displays are in spring, with magnolias, bluebells and azaleas in bloom, and in autumn, when the colour of the foliage is stunning. In the summer it is an ideal place for family days out and picnics, and winter brings the opportunity for a peaceful walk among the hollies and snowdrops.

Further afield, but within a 15 minute drive from the cottage, are marvelous jogging and walking trails on Black Down, which is the highest point in Sussex and managed by the National Trust as an internationally important heathland . It’s a landscape of wavy hair grass, purple heather and pine trees, where you can still get a true sense of 'wild'. The views have inspired many for years and described by Tennyson, ‘long known and loved by me, green Sussex fading into blue with one grey glimpse of sea.’ The flanks of Black Down have old flower-rich meadows, ancient woodland and copses. The meadows are cut for hay to feed the cows over the winter, but which roam the heath in the summer months.

Perched on its vantage point high on the South Downs ridge, Uppark commands views as far south as the English Channel. Outside, the intimate gardens are being gradually restored to their original 19th-century design, with plenty of space in the adjacent meadow for families to play and relax with a picnic. The nearby woodland is great for exploring and den-building. Uppark's Georgian interiors illustrate period life, with the highlight being one of the best examples of a 17th-century doll's house in the country.
