The Garden House
| One of the finest gardens of its kind, the garden was originally created by Lionel Fortescue in the 1940's. This consisted of a walled garden of about 2 acres, with terraces of traditional herbaceous borders and shrubs set around the ruins of a 17th century vicarage. |
| Since the death of Mr Fortescue in 1981, the garden has been maintained by the Fortescue Garden Trust, and in recent years has been expanded to include a further 6 acres outside the walled garden. What was once a field has now become a stunning kaleidoscope of flowers, planted by Keith Wiley in the "New Naturalism" style. |
| The Garden House is open to the public every day from March to October. See the official website (link below) for details of location and opening hours. |
