Description of Garden

Designer: Elizabeth & Alistair Macleod Matthews

The 15th/16th century manor house is surrounded by magnificent lawns, walls and gardens. There are herbaceous borders, a white garden with interesting topiary, a Tudor bulb garden and a physic garden displaying a collection of medicinal and culinary herbs. A Yew Maze of more than head height, a fountain court, a parterre and a productive potager complete the picture of a garden worth visiting throughout the season.

History of Garden

This garden was recreated from Tudor times.
