Nymans

In the late 19th century the creative Messel family bought the Nymans estate in the High Weald of Sussex with the intention of making a dream country house.
They created one of the country’s great gardens with experimental designs and plants from around the world. Nymans became a garden lover’s home, a place where the Messels entertained family and friends, enjoyed relaxing in the garden, and picnicking and walking in the woods. Partially destroyed by fire in 1947, the house and ruins sit within a romantic and picturesque setting with beauty, colour and interest in evidence all year round. Nymans holds a significant collection of fascinating and rare plants.
