Description of Garden

Designer: Mrs. Ward (owner)

An extraordinary series of projects have produced this unusual and beautiful garden by the River Dore. It features lawns, nine individual borders, ponds, euphorbias that were filmed by the BBC, glasshouses, a rock garden, a bridge over the river and river walks alongside. There are also 25 acres of woodland. The nursery, run in conjunction with the garden, is well-known and patronised.

History of Garden

The garden has been created from scratch by the owner since buying the property in 1967. Its history before that is somewhat obscure though the house was known to have been the Red Lion Inn in 1837 until it was acquired by Captain Freke Lewis who had been left the 1700 acre Abbey Dore Estate and turned the Inn into a large family house for he and his wife to live in.
