Wykehurst Park is a Gothic Revival mansion located near the village of Bolney, Sussex, England. Its turrets, arches, conical roofs, and many architectural devices give it the appearance of a fairytale mansion. The large black gates are fashioned in wrought iron. Massive griffins with spread wings perch on either side of the gates. The entrance to the property leads down a pebble drive to a grassed patio surrounding the house, descending to a garden and lawn at the back.
The mansion's exterior and grounds have appeared in a number of films dating back to the late 1960s, including Oh! What a Lovely War, Demons of the Mind, The Legend of Hell House, The Eagle Has Landed, and Holocaust 2000, among others.
