A video view of Stanmer Park

View a video about Stanmer Park and Estate which is an excellent example of the vast open countryside available in Brighton and Hove – and remains one of our most visited parks. It is also the city’s largest park and is a unique example of an 18th century designed landscape. The current restoration project, financed by  Heritage Lottery Fund and BIG Lottery Fund’s ‘Parks for People’, focuses on history in the park because its 18th-century design was a key period in British landscape history.

An example of an 18C working village

One of the park’s most unique features is Stanmer Village, a great example of an 18th Century working village, with Stanmer House as its main focal point. Stanmer’s farmland, tea room and church, create a village that is one of the many reasons Stanmer remains one of Brighton’s most visited parks.
