Be careful to stick to the main pathways and not trample through any areas where flowers are appearing, this helps to protect the flowers and to keep the scenery looking its best for other visitors.
Spring in the walled gardens
The gardens start looking full of life at this time of the year. We've planted a mix of spring bulbs throughout the estate so there will be plenty of blooms starting to show.
Please note that the Cherry Garden is currently closed due to a restoration project.
Bluebell watch
Bluebells normally start to appear around April, although there are many factors that will determine when they appear fully. We will be updating our social media pages with the bluebell's progress, so have a look before you visit us to see the bluebells at their best.
The Spinney Woods at Greys Court becomes home to a carpet of this beautiful flower, making for an impressive view when looking back on it from the estate walk.
To protect the bluebells, please could all visitors to the bluebell woods keep to the marked out path so this impressive sight can stay looking spectacular for years to come.
The wisteria in the gardens at Greys Court is a sight not to be missed in the late spring as the old branches become decorated with beautiful purple flowers.
This summer we’re partnering with Angela from Relax Kids to run mindfulness sessions within our wellbeing programme. With games, stretching and breathing exercises, the sessions will give children the tools to relax and refresh. Booking essential.
