The area's woodland conceals over 30 small manor houses, castles and beautiful parks and gardens. Nine are managed by the National Trust and include its most visited property - Wakehurst, the country estate of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.

Other highlights include Bewl Water - the largest area of inland water in the South East of England, Harrison's Rocks - a 1.5km sandstone climbing crag and Bedgebury Forest which has  22km of cycle tracks.

Open farms and woodlands provide a countryside experience; and a car-free view of the landscape can be enjoyed from one of the area's 3 steam railways.
