Touristic Attraction
Beelzebub Oak
London Road 1409
An oak on this spot is shown on maps as far back as 1779, when it marked the parish boundary. The girth of the current oak gives its age as approximately 250 years old, so the one we see today is probably a replacement.
Common Lime
1409
Difficult to age as the trunk has fragmented but perhaps is 5/600 yrs old with a 7.46m girth. It could continue hollow for several hundred years. To preserve it, the vertical growth is reduced periodically to minimise risk of failure of the detached trunk

Doric Temple
- National Trust 1409
Capability Brown sited the Doric Temple here for the view across the Shimmings Valley. The Temple was formerly situated on terraces that were part of the formal garden laid out by George London for the 6th Duke of Somerset. Brown removed the terraces to c
Ionic Rotunda
1409
The Ionic Rotunda was erected in around 1765 on the site suggested by ‘Capability’ Brown"s 1752 plan. He positioned it on the steep hillside to give commanding views over the meadow below and the countryside to the east. Looking south-east there is an ope
Lower Pond
1409
In 1603, this area was ‘fowle & deepe of myre. "Capability" Brown designed the pond to go here, along with the culverts that feed it, during his 4th contract with the 2nd Earl of Egremont (1756–57). It acted as a focal point for views from new park roads
Norman Oak
1409
Petworth was a royal gift by Henry I"s widow in 1150 to the Percy family (powerful landowners in the North). The oak tree has survived all landscape changes since & now has hollies growing from decomposing wood in its cavities.

Tudor Remains
1409
Recent archaeology has revealed the remains of a large Tudor building on the hill to your right. It is thought that this may be the remains of Henry VIII’s banqueting or hunting lodge.
Upper Pond
1409
It went through several design changes between 1752 and 1756, as the park boundary was moved & buildings removed. Viewed from the Pleasure Garden, the Upper and Lower ponds are designed to simulate a river flowing through the landscape.

Church Street GU28 0AD Petworth
- 1409
Path around the concave was laid by "Capability" Brown & designed as a coach road linking the gate at Upperton to Brown’s park road. None of the trees either side were planted by Brown, either predating him (2 oaks are 350-400yrs old) or planted later
