The park itself has substantial dense woodland to north and south, forming a Site of Special Scientific Interest in East Sussex, England. The house is a 20th-century neo-Georgian structure on an ancient site, which is not a listed building but the parkland is of biological interest, consisting of ancient woodland and parkland, supporting a wide range of flora and fauna. Its particular scientific uniqueness is that is the best site in Great Britain for epiphytic lichen. ==Location== (詳細はecclesiastical parish of Eridge Green. Eridge Castle was the predecessor property and until 1856 had its own ecclesiastical parish — the seat (main home) of the Earl and Marquess of Abergavenny〔(Eridge Park — a short history ).〕 but not a listed building. On the village street is the church which is grade II listed〔Holy Trinity Church, Eridge, Grade II 〕 and six other listed buildings including the public house, the ''Neville Crest and Gun'', which is their family. In 1792 the Henry Nevill, 2nd Earl of Abergavenny converted the old Eridge House into a Gothic castle, which he named "Eridge Castle". It was replaced by a Neo-Georgian mansion in the 1930s. The area also contains several follies, including the Saxonbury Tower and several ornamental buildings near the Sham Farm business park.
