 Wyken Hall Gardens surround a beautiful Elizabethan
manor house (not open to the public). The
vibrant garden was mostly created at the end of the 20th century. Hornbeam and yew
hedges divide it into a series of outdoor rooms. The delightful knot garden and
formal herb garden were designed by Arabella Lennox-Boyd.
The rose garden features old roses and has a long pergola
smothered with flowers. A border of hot colours runs along the outside wall of the
kitchen garden.
The traditional kitchen garden has fruit trees and a
greenhouse.
On the other side of the garden is a copper beech maze and
a nuttery. A walk through ancient woodlands leads to the Wyken Vineyards.
Visitors can buy the wine in the Leaping Hare Country Store
situated in a 16th century barn and there is also a restaurant. |
