Regency Pleasure Gardens

Take the time to discover the wonderful pleasure gardens of the 19th century botanist and traveller, Sir George Staunton. Complete with mysterious follies, an ornamental farm, amazing glasshouses and more than 1,000 acres of beautiful landscaped countryside, the Park is a living testimony to his dreams.

The gardens were inspired by Staunton's extensive travels in the Far East, and today you can still enjoy the menagerie of exotic animals and unusual plants from all four corners of the globe, whatever the weather.

Ornamental Farm

Enjoy the opportunity to get close to an amazing variety of friendly animals. Children can enjoy following the Black Cat Trail or let off steam in the play area. Ask at the Visitor Centre for feed for the many animals you'll meet on your journey around the park.

Fabulous Glasshouses

Discover orchids , pineapple, Jurassic plants, Papyrus, rice plants, Amazon Lily (summer only) and much more, in the largest glasshouses on the South Coast. Originally designed and built in the Regency era, the glasshouses have been completely restored.

Follies

You can enjoy a wealth of Regency and Victorian architecture from Staunton's era at Staunton Country Park. From the beauty of the traditional Gothic library, the formal splendour of the walled garden to the unusual Shell House, there is plenty to explore in the historic estate.
