Hergest Croft garden

Herefordshire is the ideal destination for garden lovers. A county of wooded hills, gentle river valleys, a favourable climate, rich, fertile soil and an unspoiled landscape.

There are gardens here to appeal to all tastes. Hergest Croft, established over 100 years ago, has 50 acres of magnificent trees, shrubs, azaleas and rhododendrons. Equally impressive is Hampton Court, newly-established on the grand scale, with walled gardens, a canal maze and water pavilions. On a more intimate note, visit the delightful garden at Stockton Bury with many unusual plants amongst medieval buildings, or the exciting garden at Bryan's Ground, with colour-themed borders, formal pools and follies in an Edwardian setting. These are just some of the beautiful and varied gardens waiting to welcome the visitor.

For the plant enthusiast, visits to the many nurseries are essential. The county is particularly well supplied with specialist nurseries - alpines and auriculas at Lingen, herbs from Lawton Hall and David Austin English Roses from Broadfield Court are just some of the delights to be discovered and taken home - the best souvenir of a garden visit to Herefordshire.
