Food & Drink
The Woodland Playground
The woodland playground provides entertainment for children of all ages, with climbing nets, monkey bars, a basket swing and spinning roundabout. Located next to the Garden Tearoom, it's a great spot for children to play while the grown-ups can enjoy some refreshments. Hand sanitisers are available for your use in this area. Please keep children supervised at all times.
Help us fundraise for this all terrain mobility scooter
Sadly, due to the nature of the garden's terrain, it is not accessible for visitors in wheelchairs or with limited mobility. We hope to change this by fundraising to acquire this specialist all terrain 'Tamper' mobility scooter that will cope with our rough paths and steep gradients. Help us to help others by donating through our Just Giving site. Simply click on the Just Giving box below to donate. Many thanks.

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. For health & safety reasons we do not allow dogs in the Garden Tearoom, but there are plenty of outdoor tables for your use.
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.
