Garden created by Lady Arabella Lennox-Boyd that only opens once a month. The setting is in a valley cut of the surrounding fields over millennia by a tributary of the river Lune. Winner of Historic Houses Garden of the Year: Judges' Choice Award.
It is a garden of 12 acres that includes terraces, lakes, a small bog garden, a wild garden, an extensive kitchen garden, a bluebell wood, the Millennium Wood, the Rhododendron Hills, the herbaceous borders and a serpentine walk. The terraces descend from the house to the lake, and are planted with roses, clementis and more tender plants in season, and the predominating pinks, purples and silver-whites compliment the rugged grey stone of the Gothic house.
Free entry for Historic Houses Association members - otherwise £12. Coffee cart providing hot drinks & sweet things.
