On a south-facing slope, the large walled garden provides a warm, sheltered setting for mixed borders, rose arches, vegetables, trained fruit trees and a glasshouse. Other key features include the wild garden and magnificent beech avenue, planted around 1670. For a relaxing stroll, take the one-mile circular woodland walk, among native trees and abundant wildlife, including red squirrels.
Important update
With the gradual easing of lockdown restrictions, gardens in the 2-for-1 directory are beginning to open.
To ensure the safety of visitors and staff, many have special measures in place, including pre-booking and limiting the number of visitors.
Before visiting a garden, please contact the garden directly to determine their opening status and any restrictions that may apply.
Please note: we’re unable to keep all individual 2-for-1 garden pages updated, but we will publish the latest details that we have on our weekly updates page from week commencing Monday 8 June, 2020.
