A Victorian house and garden on a site which appears in the Domesday Book. The gatehouse (c1500) is Grade 1 listed. The Hodsock Priory garden has a terrace, herbaceous borders, a lake, bog garden and old moat. With a myriad of spring flowers including hellebores, cyclamen, honeysuckle and sarcococca and the famous 5 acre gardens and the magnificent walk around the 17 acre Horsepasture wood with carpets of snowdrops are a memorable sight.

    The last review was rather harsh - it's February for godness sake so the weather's always dodgy. Hodsock's appeal is that it's so different to the usual NT and Garden centre places. We go pretty much every year for the fresh air, to see millions of snowdrops and spring flowers, to throw a log onto the bonfire in the wood and for the best homemade cake around. It's a great place - take wellies and warm winter clothes. The family who live there really take care of the place as they still live in the big house. To say it's not well maintained is not true at all - go along - you'll be pleasantly surprised!

    Having seen the reviews travelled for 2 hours to visit the gardens. Paid £4.50 per adult for a 10 minute walk around the gardens and woodlands which are particularly dangerous and not at all well maintained. Went into the coffee shop which is far from stylish and more like a canteen. Save the disappointment and go to a properly organised place like sherwood forest or clumber park nearby!
