Scotney CastleScotney Castle is a grand country house with formal gardens in Sussex. It stands south-east of Lamberhurst in the valley of the River Bewl, and today it belongs to the National Trust. The gardens, which are a celebrated example of the 'Picturesque' style, are open to the public, around the ruins of a medieval manor house, Scotney Old Castle, on an island in a lake.
