Moorland

Up above the formal gardens we have nurtured a 17 acre Moorland Walk with 120 species of wildflowers, grasses, and ferns. Venture up to the Georgian Water supply and lose yourself amongst the grasses.

It is interesting to see and compare the Native Moorland which is how the garden started out. We have mown grass paths and the walk takes about 20 mins.

The slopes are covered in a mass of bluebells which indicate there was once ancient woodland. No fertiliser has ever been used on this ground, and the native gorse harbours a variety of birdlife including yellow hammers which flit from post to post with their song ‘A little bit of bread and no cheese!.’

If you are lucky you may spot a red squirrel, amongst a variety of wildlife.
