Front of house, Nymans

Handcross, Haywards Heath, West Sussex view map

Nymans, "an outstanding 20th-century garden, set around a romantic house and ruins, in beautiful woodland. In the late 1800’s
Ludwig Messel bought the Nymans Estate in the High Weald to make a dream family home. Inspired by the wooded surroundings,
they created a garden with plants collected from around the world. Here this creative family entertained friends and family, enjoyed
relaxing, playing and picnicking in the garden and woods. Today it is still a garden lovers’ home - a place to relax all year round and
enjoy a peaceful country garden. The house was partially destroyed by fire in 1947, and the romantic ruins of a fairytale gothic
mansion remain. Nymans is one of the National Trust’s most eco-friendly properties and aims to inspire a more sustainable way of
living." (National Trust)

They do not build them like this any more, so much character the architecture has.
Light perfect and the cotton ball clouds backed up by the lovely blue is pretty as can be.Tack sharp 100 percent of the scene.
