We have hand picked four beautiful fragrances for you to choose from: Cinnamon, Orange and Clove, Himalayan Cedar and Jasmine, Oriental Poppy and Peony. The candles are hand poured, made from a mixture of soy and mineral waxes to ensure the best scent possible whilst keeping carbon emissions to a minimum and the wooden wicks softly crackle as they burn.

Gardeners Report
Dog Walking
We welcome well-behaved dogs but, ask that they are kept on a lead at all times. Owners are expected to clean up after their dogs and ensure that they do not cause a nuisance to other visitors.
Garden History
Peter and Caroline Roberts originally bought the property in 1996, as a privately owned 20 acre woodland garden, which has now been extended to 45 acres. Some of the grounds were coppiced Hazel woodland with an infestation of Japanese Knotweed, whilst other parts of the site were dense, dark woods of Sitka Spruce.
