It stands in a 283-hectare (700-acre) landscaped park, known as Petworth Park, which was designed in 1752 by 'Capability' Brown. The park is one of the more famous in England, largely on account of a number of pictures of it which were painted by Turner. It is inhabited by the largest herd of fallow deer in England. There is also a 12-hectare (30-acre) woodland garden, known as the Pleasure Ground.
JMW Turner was a regular visitor and produced many works there.
