Born from the keen amateur but creative minds of both Winston and Clementine Churchill, the gardens of Chartwell are as varied as they are beautiful the whole year round. History and nature merge seamlessly across the estate from the distinctive pastel colours of pink and white roses favoured by Lady Churchill, fruit and vegetables framed by the walls Sir Winston Churchill helped build, to acres of woodland and wider meadows.
Although we have had to close some parts of our play areas, including the treehouse, due to government restrictions, with 80 acres of grounds to explore there's still plenty to keep the kids busy this spring with a visit to Chartwell.
Our café outlet has reopened, serving hot and cold drinks as well as takeaway soup, baguettes, jacket potatoes, sausage rolls and hot one pot meals. We've introduced new safety measures including closure of our indoor seating areas, screens at our till and collection points and waymarked routes, limited outdoor seating is available. We look forward to welcoming you back and know that you'll support us to make this a safe experience to everyone.
