Description of Garden:
Set in the heart of The Garden of England and surrounding a 17th century house, Great Comp Garden is the delightful creation of Roderick and Joy Cameron since they moved to Great Comp in 1957. Now extended to over 7 acres the garden had been developed with the aim of providing interest throughout the year from an increasingly varied plant collection.
