Anglesey Abbey, Gardens and Lode Mill

Enjoy the sweeping Herbaceous Border, the heady scent of the Rose Garden and buzz of insects in the wildflower meadows as the gardens put on a dazzling display of June colour. June is one of our quieter months for visitors, so if you want to enjoy the gardens without the summer crowds we suggest you plan a visit this month - you won't be disappointed.

Lord Fairhaven bought Anglesey Abbey in 1926 and gifted it to the National Trust upon his death in 1966. Immerse yourself in his luxurious lifestyle as you step inside the House packed with antiques, paintings, silverware and clocks.

The origins of Lode Mill can be traced back to the Domesday Book of 1086. Step inside the historic watermill and discover how grain is transformed into wholesome flour. Open Tuesday - Sunday, 10.30am - 4pm (Daily during school holidays March - October).

With its sweeping borders, the Herbaceous Border reaches its peak in June and July. The perfect place to sit back and relax and enjoy the beautiful display.
