Free self-guided tour

garden tour

The heritage garden is a thriving example of cottage-style planting with a mix of flowers, vegetables, herbs and fruit trees. With the garden open every day during daylight hours, even when the Cottage itself is closed, this free self-guided tour will showcase the beauty of the garden and detail the various plantings. A comprehensive accompanying brochure is available at the door to the visitor centre.
