Autumn Highlights
- Enjoy the seasonal fruit, vegetables and freshly cut-flowers available from the Walled Garden stall.
- Marvel at the magical, changing colours of the leaves on the trees.
- Challenge friends to a game of conkers foraged from our magnificent horse chestnut tree.
- Visit the Orchard and see the branches of our apple trees heavy with ripened fruit.
- Keep your eyes peeled for the first signs of migrating birds in the garden. Especially Fieldfares and Redwings which are attracted by the windfall apples in the orchard.
Walled Garden
Enjoy a little seclusion among the flowers, fruits and vegetables of the peaceful Walled Garden. The Vernon family would have used the seasonal produce grown here to supply their kitchen and we continue this tradition by using the fruits and vegetables in our tearoom.
Spread over one and a half acres, our productive Walled Garden is certified organic by the Soil Association. The autumn months are some of the most productive here with a bountiful harvest of pumpkins, squashes, leeks, cabbages, celeriac and swede. Top of our gardener’s to do list in the autumn, is to harvest this produce for use in our tearooms and for sale at the produce stall in the garden for you to enjoy at home.
