A garden for all seasons

Whatever the time of year or your level of interest, the garden was designed to capture your imagination. In winter, drifts of white snowdrops and yellow aconites add colour to the frosty landscape. In spring, the scents and sights of tree blossom, hyacinths and daffodils herald in the warmer weather. For summer, the herbaceous border and dahlia gardens offer vibrant splashes of colour. And come the autumn, the garden is transformed into a canvas of rich reds and browns. There is never a bad time to visit this garden.

Contemporary classic

Lord Fairhaven had a vision for his garden. To create a modern version of the grand 18th century landscape gardens, such as Stourhead and Stowe.

With a keen eye, Lord Fairhaven put together one of the largest classical sculpture collections of its time, picking up works at a time when the costly Victorian country house was in decline. Pieces from Wanstead House, Stowe, Chesterfield House and many more have found a superb new home at Anglesey.

Anglesey Abbey's Lode Mill dates from the 18th century, but early records, including the 1068 Doomsday Book describe a building on this site. The Lode Mill was restored to full working order in 1982 by the Cambridgeshire Wind and Watermill Society. Today you can step inside and see how the power of water is harnessed to grind tens of tons of flour every year. Freshly ground flour from the Mill and oatmeal are sold by the bag, direct from the Abbey, delicious for bread making or dumplings!

Winter wonderland

A path wends its way for almost a quarter of a mile though spectacular colours created by groups of Dogwood, Willow and Whitewashed Bramble. Scent and colour are provided by winter flowering shrubs including Viburnum, Mahonia, Sarcococca and Chimonanthus. Coloured tree barks and many different types of bulb and ground cover plants give added colour and interest. The Winter Garden contains some 150 species of plants chosen for their attractiveness in winter and it offers an oasis of colour when most gardens look grey and dull.

Wildflower meadows form a very important part of the garden management at Anglesey, as we have one of the best unimproved chalk grassland meadows in Cambridgeshire. There are over 150 species of grasses and flowers including the sweet scented 'Ladies Bedstraw' (pictured), which provide food and shelter for many rare invertebrates, butterflies and moths.
