The flat fen landscapes in which Lord Fairhaven laid out his gardens are well suited to easy walking. All weather paths across the majority of the estate lend themselves nicely to access for wheelchairs or PMVs. Both of which are available to borrow from our Visitor Reception team.

The Herbaceous Border is created in a D shape and is surrounded by clipped Beech hedges. The border is designed to give a spectacular show during late June through July. Towering groups of Delphinium and Verbascum along with drifts of Geranium, Coreopsis, Achillea and many others totally fill the whole area with flowing colours and form to make this a truly classical example of an English garden.

Cyclamen hederafolium annually bring delight to a number of our wooded pathways, starting in late August. Varying shades of pink and purple along with pure white flowers brighten the floor. A bonus to these plants is the scent they give on calm days and then following on into spring the delightful marbled foliage that creates a great backcloth for spring bulbs

Autumn foliage is another highlight and one of the best examples of yellow leaves is the Field Maple as seen in the central entrance of the Temple Lawn. Many more beautiful areas of tapestry can be seen throughout the gardens, these have individual trees and mixed shrub borders. The Pilgrims Lawn has a specific theme of autumn colour along with many examples of berries.
