LINCOLNSHIRE VISITOR ATTRACTION OF THE YEAR
Welcome to 12 acres of ‘lost’ gardens. 400 years of gardening have created a peaceful and settled atmosphere, enhanced by the beautiful valley surrounding it.
Until Winter 2001, these gardens had been completely abandoned for 50 years. In 2008, with six years of renovation under our belt, visitors can see more than just a restoration project. We have snowdrops, sweet peas, irises, David Austin Roses, 100 varieties of daffodils, and our popular cutflower garden. Seasonal collections are fully labelled.
There are walks, drifts of bulbs, meadow borders, auricula theatres, a cottage garden and a turf maze. We have a tearoom selling light lunches, teas and homemade cakes and a shop that stocks seasonal gardening gifts.
Just off the A1, in the middle of England, we are easy to visit and look forward to seeing you. Click here for
Directions.
Week beginning Monday September 29th:
The gardens are now open on Sundays only. There is still lots to see as the autumn is not quite yet here. For children we have conkers, hyacinths to plant, snails to feed, dens and activity sheets as well as the usual maze, banks for playing on and, when the leaves start to fall seriously we will be building a big leafpile for messing around in. Its not high tech but it is fun for our children and our visitors.
The gardens have started to look autumnal now with the half hardy annual taking centre stage. Our new brochure for 'Autumn into Winter' is out now and is available as a pdf by clicking
