Since the restoration after the great storm of 1990, many new exotic and unusual plants have been introduced. The garden is now a mixture of formal and informal, with charming walled garden walks and spectacular woodland valley views. World famous for its Camellia groves and magnolias, noted for its Rhododendrons and Hydrangea collections. In summer it is awash with sub-tropical colour.
Established in 1765 by the first Countess of Ilchester as a kitchen garden to her nearby castle. Developed since then into a magnificent 20 acre garden filled with rare and exotic plants from all over the world. Many of these were new introductions to this country, found by the plant hunting decendants of the countess.
