Gardenvisit Editorial

A walled garden surrounded by a woodland garden. It is close to Chesil beach and separate from the site of the now-demolished house in which its maker, Lord Ilchester, lived. The old kitchen garden is given a sub-tropical air by the palm trees but the real attraction is the lush planting in the valley garden. It has some of the most extensive gunnera plantings in England.

    Sub-tropical garden close to chesil beach.

    the garden has plants from around the world.

    the gardens are split into sub gardens (sino-himalayan garden, southern hemisphere garden) there are architcural features (summerhouse) and a series of ponds.

    the old walled garden now features a colonial tea-house (pricey)

    fine hydrangea walk
