The wife of the first Lord Crawshaw carried out much of the landscaping of the garden in the late 19th Century. Extending to 15 acres, it offers the visitor a haven of peace and tranquility through all the seasons of the year. A myriad of paths lead through the woodland garden, carpeted in spring by thousands of bulbs and wild flowers, while an abundance of flowering shrubs and ornamental trees catch the eye around the spacious lawns.
The gardens are open from 1st March – 31st October daily, closed on Saturdays.
• Admission: £3.50 per adult, children free.
• Wheelchair access to all areas of the garden
• Dogs are welcome on leads.
• Teas are available from 2-4pm every Sunday from Easter Sunday, 24th April, and on Bank Holiday Mondays. The tea room will close in September.
• Groups are welcomed by appointment and light refreshments can be available by prior arrangement. Please contact us to discuss further.
