We like to pair a trip to Sheffield Park with a trip to Latchett’s Farm which is a short 5-minute drive down the road, for an ice cream from their ice cream parlour. You’ll also be able to get up close to our collection of over 30 locomotives and see the working yard where engines are prepared in the mornings. Marked parking bays near the coach parking area, close to the main station entrance are reserved for wheelchair passengers. Suitable toilet facilities are available on the ground floor in the Bessemer Arms restaurant building. Ramped access and paved gangways can be found within the SteamWorks! for viewing the locomotives. The shop on platform 1 and the museum on platform 2 are both accessible, as is the bar on the ground floor of the Bessemer Arms, where a full meal service is normally available. A stair lift is available to use for access to the Birch Grove Suite above the Bessemer Arms, unfortunately, there is no lift. When no timetabled trains are running – sorry, both Steamworks! and the locomotive shed will be closed. Hyams, Edward (1971). Capability Brown and Humphry Repton. Scribner. p.140. ISBN 978-0-684-10273-3.There are four 7Kw charging points in the car park nearest the station. One of these is for the exclusive use of Blue Badge holders. Disabled toilet and baby changing facilities are available on platform 1, in the Bessemer Arms or on platform 2 next to the museum.

The estate is first mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it is listed as part of the 'rape of Pevensey', an area given by William the Conqueror to his half-brother, Robert, Count of Mortain. In August 1538, Thomas Howard, 3rd Duke of Norfolk, entertained King Henry VIII here.

It was originally laid out in the 18th century by Capability Brown, and further developed as a woodland garden in the early 20th century by its then owner, Arthur Gilstrap Soames.
