Doddington Hall Gardens

A great house, designed by Robert Smythson in 1600, with a walled garden and gatehouse of the same period. The parterre in the west garden was made in 1900. The woodland garden has walks, a stream and a recent turf maze and Temple of the Winds. There is also a newly-restored and fully productive Kitchen Garden.

Head Gardener's Comment

ince 2006 Doddington has been our much-loved family home. We have continued Claire’s parents work in devoting ourselves to the upkeep, repair and progression of the Doddington Estate including; the development of the Farm Shop, Bike Shop, Café, Restaurant, Coffee Shop, Home Store, Farrow & Ball, Country Clothing Store, Bauble Barn, Christmas Tree Sales and Weddings and Events businesses; increasing public access; organising concerts and exhibitions and the development of various accommodation across the estate.

There is always something new to see and do on the estate whether that is inside the Hall, in the five acres of gardens, one of our events, or on one of the estate walks. We look forward to welcoming you to Doddington.
