Garden Areas

To walk through the gardens is to walk through the history of gardening itself, and since 1725, each successive owner of the Egerton family estate played a part in the evolution of the gardens and sought the expertise of the leading landscape architects of the time. There are a number of distinct areas within the 50 acres of garden:

Japanese Garden

Created over 100 years ago, our Japanese Garden is renowned for its authenticity around the world, including Japan.

Join us on a special guided tour every Wednesday and Saturday in high season, 11:30am & 1:30pm.

Walled Kitchen Garden

Crops growing in our three walled gardens and orchard are tended to and harvested by our incredible team of volunteers and gardeners. This produce is available at our Garden shop and used by the chefs at our on-site restaurants in seasonal dishes for you to enjoy.

>>>

Glasshouses

Our Fernery, Conservatory and Pinery are impressive examples of glasshouses built in the 1800s and remain intact. The Egertons imported tropical plants from their travels to New Zealand and Australia, some of which are still part of the collection today.
