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. Further highlights 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.

Check before you travel

Always check the garden’s website or call direct before visiting for up-to-date opening times, other ticket price options, and any one-off restrictions which may apply.

Always take your 2-for-1 Gardens card with you. If you’ve booked your tickets under the 2-for-1 Gardens offer, show your card on the day to validate the booking.
