Lowder Mill

Beautiful old Sussex mill and mill house in a secluded valley in an AONB. Open garden today. It's a 3 acre natural water garden, little streams and waterfalls dotted around, and two ponds. Tea is served beside the upper pond, lovely setting. The listed buildings are of 17th C origin and were first used solely as a dwelling around 1920. The gardens are a work in progress, having been much neglected, but as you can see, you couldn't wish for a lovelier setting.

Since we are reduced to having only a courtyard of our own, we love to share in other people's gardens. Lowder is open under the National Gardens Scheme which annually donates over £1M pounds to charies such as Macmillan Nurses, Marie Curie and Parkinsons. Lowder itself has contributed £75,000 in the last three years. Admirable all round.
