Find out what's looking good in the gardens this June at Hestercombe - we explore the varieties found behind Lutyens' pergola.

Urgent Notice

Sunday 24th November - Due to high winds this morning and fallen branches around the gardens, we will be opening at the later time of 11am today. Illuminate will take place as planned tonight.

Due to the weather some routes leading to Hestercombe are closed due to fallen trees, please check your route here before travelling as visitors may need to take alternative routes to the venue.
