The gardens of some of the finest homes in Norfolk are open to visitors. Enjoy historic parterres, walled vegetable gardens, orchards and woodland walks.
Many organisations, such as the National Trust, arrange guided walks with Head Gardeners so you can discover how these beautiful gardens were created and pick up some tips for your own garden.
| Wild Woodlands
At Sheringham Park you'll find fine mature woodlands, and the large woodland garden is particularly famous for its spectacular show of rhododendrons and azaleas (flowering mid May to June). There are stunning views of the coast and countryside from the viewing towers and many delightful waymarked walks, including a route to the North Norfolk Railway Station (a private full-gauge steam railway). | Breathe in the fragrance
If you enjoy gardens which delight your sense of smell as well as your sight, visit Norfolk Lavender. You can walk in Fragrant Meadow Garden where all the plants and shrubs have been chosen for their aromatic qualities and explore the Herb Garden and discover the properties of each plant. | Water, water everywhere
There are many water gardens to explore in Norfolk where you can discover rare and unusual plants and shrubs. Fairhaven Woodland and Water Garden in the Norfolk Broads and Hoveton Hall are beautiful from Spring to Autumn with something different to see as the seasons pass.
Gooderstone Water Gardens have recently been restored and re-opened. On the edge of the Brecks, Gooderstone really is a wonderful surprise with six acres of ponds, waterways, pathways, plants and shrubs. | | | |
