The majestic 700-acre park at Petworth is one of the finest surviving and unspoilt examples of an English landscape designed by Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown. Petworth Park is owned and managed by the National Trust, and the wall around the 700 acre deer park is 14 miles long.
During the third Earl of Egremont's (1751-1837) 'Golden Age' of Petworth, artists like English Romantic painter JMW Turner were invited to Petworth to take inspiration from the collection and the surrounding landscape.
