Enjoy our 17th century Water Garden and new sunflower meadow from Thursday 8th August.
Hestercombe Gardens is unique in having now four complete period gardens on one site, which firmly establishes it as one of the most important heritage gardens in the country. Find out more about the history of the Water Garden here.
Visitors will be able to walk the new sunflower meadow leading up to the Water Garden. Entry costs £5 per group/family to include five “pick your own” sunflowers.
Please bring your own secateurs as the stems will not break by hand.
Dogs on a short lead are welcome.
We're opening Thursday, 8th August and will be open daily between 10.30am and 4.30pm (last entry at 4pm), while sunflowers are available. No booking needed. Please pay by card at our Ticket Office upon arrival.
