Originally designed by the renowned Percy Cane a century ago, this stunning garden has been lovingly restored. Since 2017, the current owners have breathed new life into the grounds, reviving the Walled Garden, which now flourishes with fresh fruit and vegetables.
Wander through beautifully reclaimed spaces, including the Sunken Garden, now transformed into an elegant rose garden, and explore the oak garden nestled beneath towering trees. An old aviary has been reimagined as a charming tool shed, while restored bird ponds and pools provide a haven for wildlife.
Enjoy a peaceful woodland walk beneath ancient oaks, take in the breathtaking backdrop of Dinmore Hill, or follow the garden’s edge to the tranquil River Lugg. This is a truly magical setting, blending history, nature, and restoration, an experience not to be missed!
Take in the beauty of the restored grounds while enjoying refreshments from St Michael’s Hospice, including tea and delicious homemade cakes. Relax, unwind, and soak in the peaceful surroundings. With free parking available, visiting couldn’t be easier!
Please note: unfortunately, due to the garden’s terrain, wheelchair access is limited. Parking spaces are also limited, so we encourage car sharing where possible. We’ve split the event into morning and afternoon sessions. If you’re visiting in the morning, please leave by 1:45pm to make room for afternoon guests. Only assistance dogs are permitted.
