Garden Tour with Head Gardener

We offer a chance for an in depth look around the gardens at Gorhambury House taken by our Head Gardener Gill Hewis.

The gardens comprise many areas and styles from formal to wildflower meadow, Herbaceous borders to cut flower and vegetable garden. There are some historic features and topiary alongside modern planting schemes by Tom Stuart Smith.

You will start with refreshments and an introduction to the history of the estate, the current mansion and garden. Then a leisurely guided tour around the gardens where you can ask questions and find out about the specimen plants, stories and anecdotes.

The tour will last about 1.5-2 hours and will go ahead in nearly all weathers. Please dress accordingly.

There are toilet facilities available and a number of steps to be navigated.

Each head gardener tour is for a maximum of 15 people.

Arriving by car: Access from M1 (Junction 8) and M25 (Junction 21a). Please enter AL3 6AE into your GPS for the entrance at the Roman Theatre off Bluehouse Hill. Once at the gate enter AL3 6AH for the house, where there is ample parking.
