I visit Sheffield Park and Gardens, owned by the National Trust during its peak autumn colours, or fall colors depending on where in the world you're viewing this from. I learn about the gardens past with both Capability Brown's involvement in the original design, to Arthur Soames, the park's involvement in World War 2 and the National Trust taking it over.
This can be done as a wonderful day trip from London by train as Sheffield Park and Gardens are in East Sussex. Trains depart either London Victoria or London Bridge for East Grinstead (end of the normal line) You'll then need to purchase a ticket for the privately operated Bluebell Railway line which is a beautiful, romantic, old steam train. This will take you from East Grinstead to Sheffield Park and is an event in itself.
It's a 10-ish minute walk from the station to Sheffield Park and Garden's entrance. It's well sign posted and aside from the initial busy road you must cross upon leaving the station, the rest of the walk is across lovely English countryside fields filled with friendly farmer's sheep. This is a spectacular part of South East England
