Woodland and formal Arts & Craft gardens designed by Walter Godfrey at The Garth Pleasure Grounds

About

The bluebells and the wild garlic in May are in their peak blooming period, so take a gentle walk in the Nuttery and you will come across an array of beautiful sea of blue and white. Azaleas, rhododendrons and a sea of montbretias provide a splash of colour and scent in June and July.

Mature 9 acre Pleasure Grounds were created by an Arts and Crafts distinguished buildings and landscape architect Walter H. Godfrey in 1919 and present an idyllic setting surrounding the former parish workhouse refubished also by Godfrey. The formal gardens, enchanted nuttery, a spinney with many mature trees and a pond attract wild life. The woodland gardens and beautiful borders are full of colour and fragrance for year-round pleasure.
