A lovely expanse of 50 acres of gardens
Hestercombe's 50 acres of gardens are listed Grade I on the English Heritage Register of Parks and Gardens and encompass over three centuries of garden history. The formal gardens, designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens and planted by Gertrude Jekyll, were completed in 1906. With terraces, pools and an orangery, they are the supreme example of their famous partnership. These gardens are now reunited with Hestercombe's secret Landscape Garden, which opened in spring `97 for the first time in 125 years. Created by Coplestone Warre Bampfylde in the 1750s, these Georgian pleasure grounds comprise 40 acres of lakes, temples and delightful woodland walks. Our tearoom, shop and plant sales area are open daily from 10am to 5pm. Historic Houses Association Member. Opening Times: All year: daily, 10am - 6pm (last admission 5pm    |
