Don’t take our word for how genuinely super these gardens are. Here is what visitors to Houghton Lodge Gardens had to say:
“A beautiful gardens, with a lovely location. Relax by the river and enjoy the views.”
“We love these gardens – each area is different from the others – it’s rather like entering the Tardis – bigger on the inside than on the outside”
“A lovely garden, with the longest pear tree I’ve ever seen .. they’re an apple orchard, formal gardens, beautiful trees, including acers, that will be stunning in the autumn, the peacock garden with lovely topiary, a river walk and the Lodge is a lovely backdrop.
Sometimes you can see the alpacas and black sheep.”
