This is a rare opportunity to visit The Italian Garden at Great Ambrook near Ipplepen in Devon.

As the website says:

The Italian Garden at Great Ambrook is exciting and unique for so many reasons.  Captivating to visitors, skilfully designed and constructed, it also conceals many mysteries.  The garden is a window into a historically less tolerant society where homosexual men were driven to seclusion and a secret life.

The visit takes approximately two hours and is led by one of our knowledgeable volunteer guides who will share fascinating stories about the history of the garden, its original owner and architect, and our restoration plans.

More information about the garden can be found on the website: The Italian Garden, Great Ambrook, Devon
