Acorn Bank

Potter around gardens enclosed by 17th-century walls at Acorn Bank. We have the largest collection of culinary and medicinal herbs in any National Trust garden so come along and learn more about their properties. Don't forget to find our orchard too.

After centuries of use the watermill at Acorn Bank fell into ruin. A dedicated group of volunteers have worked hard to restore the mill and it now produces our very own flour. Take a look at their remarkable achievement.

We look forward to welcoming you with seasonal lunches, a selection of cakes or a freshly baked scone with jam and clotted cream.

Pop into our shop and pick out gifts or a souvenir to take home from our selection of homeware, tasty treats and seasonal plants.
