The Gardens at Hampton Court Herefordshire, recently
completed, are one of the most ambitious garden creations of our
time.
Original Victorian garden walls enclose stunning new flower gardens
divided by canals, island pavilions and pleached avenues. The kitchen
garden is an ornamental garden of fruit and vegetables. It is managed
organically, supplying produce to the Orangery Restaurant for its
seasonal menu.
There is a maze of a thousand yews with a gothic tower at its centre.
Climb to the top for a panoramic view of the gardens or descend
underground to a tunnel that leads to a waterfall in the sunken
garden. Beautiful herbaceous borders stretch out from a one hundred
and fifty year old wisteria tunnel that leads to vast lawns and
ancient trees beside the castle. Beyond the lawns are riverside
and woodland walks.
Adjoining the castle, in a grand conservatory designed by Joseph
Paxton, is the Orangery Restaurant. Here delicious lunches and teas
can be enjoyed.
The garden shop, in the garden bothy, sells plants from the garden,
homemade produce from the castle kitchens and local crafts and gifts.
