Stansted Park
About
Stansted Park is a magnificent 1,800‑acre estate nestled on the Hampshire/Sussex border, offering a blend of historic grandeur and natural beauty. The centerpiece, Stansted House, is a stately Edwardian home furnished as it was in the 1920s, complete with State Rooms, Servants’ Quarters and a rich collection of period artefacts. Visitors can wander through the lush walled garden, enjoy a comforting cup at the Pavilion Tearoom, explore the whimsical Bessborough Arboretum, or ride the Miniature Railway. The estate’s parkland, part of the South Downs National Park, is open daily from 8 am to 6 pm and provides panoramic views, woodland walks and family-friendly attractions. Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a nature lover, or simply looking for a peaceful day out, Stansted Park offers an enriching experience for all ages.
