The charming grounds

Wander round the famous Yew Garden and follow the spiral path up to The Mount for the best view. Take a walk around the lake, through the orchard and wild flower meadow and soak up the relaxed atmosphere. Visit the kitchen garden to see the ongoing restoration.

The Kitchen garden restoration

Taking inspiration from a survey carried out in 1723 we are restoring this forgotten area of Packwood’s gardens and you’ll be able to see the work as it happens. As well as the traditional aims of growing fresh fruit and vegetables we’ll also be experimenting with new and exotic plants.

One man's collection

In his restoration of Packwood, Baron Ash rescued interiors and furniture from other Tudor houses. He filled the rooms with tapestries, stained glass, panelling and art, creating richly furnished, comfortable and colourful rooms.
