History

Set in a sheltered valley this magical garden is full of surprises, with shrub filled banks, hidden pathways and colourful herbaceous borders. Surrounding an attractive Elizabethan manor house, this 20th century garden is experimenting with a Mediterranean-style planting scheme to take advantage of its southerly location.
