About Acorn Bank Garden
Acorn Bank Garden is a super Walled Garden containing a medicinal herb garden, the largest housed by the National Trust, lily pond and herbaceous borders.
There is a Silent Space, these are definitely becoming more popular, which is located near the Quince tree and enclosed by 400 year old walls.
The orchard is home to 175 varities of apples – look out for the tasting sessions in Autumn!
If you take a walk in the wider Estate you will see a working water mill, a gypsum mine, if you can find it, and wildlife including red squirrels.
You can get refreshments at the Cafe every day apart from Tuesday.
And there is a second hand Bookshop in the house and a Plant Shop in the Courtyard with locally raised plants – donations accepted.
The house is partially closed with the grand entrance hall open to view.
