About this place
Compiled from the listed sources below — not a first-hand account.
Leonardslee Lakes & Gardens is a Grade I-listed woodland valley garden at Lower Beeding, near Horsham in West Sussex, famous for its lakes, rock garden and spring rhododendrons. The estate holds nine old giant sequoias (Sequoiadendron giganteum) believed to be among the oldest in the UK, planted by Charles Beauclerk in the 1850s, alongside younger trees added from the 1980s. Its tallest straight specimen, in the Hillside Garden, was measured at 45.3m in 2019 and has been designated Remarkable by the Tree Register of the British Isles (TROBI). Admission is ticketed, with day tickets bookable online or at reception.
