Hestercombe Gardens

Discover Hestercombe Gardens in Somerset, a unique combination of 300 years' worth of garden design. 50 acres of lakes, temples, cascades and tranquil woodland walks, plus formal terraces, vivid colours and outstanding views. Coplestone Warre Bampfylde's Georgian landscape garden, beside the Victorian terrace and shrubbery and the stunning Edwardian garden design by Sir Edwin Lutyens and Gertrude Jekyll. All of their gardens have undergone substantial and well received restoration works and today exist as gardens in greatly contrasting styles that continue to grow and develop within their borders. The picnic area has several wooden benches and it is an area where you can enjoy your own picnic lunches and settle back awhile and let the kids hit the little playground. Their award-winning visitor facilities include the welcoming Stables Restaurant and Cafe with an airy courtyard for high summer. The Gift Shop is full of beautiful things for the home and garden and the Plant Centre is well stocked with a wide variety of plants. Both areas are free to enter, as is the Visitor Centre with the Stables Restaurant and Cafe.
