Titsey Place and Gardens

Set in more than 3000 acres, Titsey Place and Gardens s one of the largest surviving historic estates in the county and dates back to the mid-sixteenth century. The Estate was originally bought in 1534 by Sir George Gresham and descended in the early nineteenth century through the female line to the Leveson Gowers, a branch of the family of the Duke of Sutherland. The Leveson Gower family lived at Titsey until the death of Thomas Leveson Gower in 1992. In 1993 the trustees of the Titsey Foundation opened Titsey Place to the publicand today vistors are able to take a historic mansion house and enjoy its unique collection of Canalettos, fine porcelain and beautiful furniture. Visitors can also explore the stunning gardens which include a beautifully restored kitchen garde, a rose garden and a lake. There are four miles of woodland walks in the Titsey Planatation that are open all year round and are popular with dog walkers.
