The Gardens

The gardens at Walcot Hall cover over 30 acres, including one of the finest Arboretums in Britain with a rich profusion of tree, shrub and herbaceous plantings. Different trees are ever being added and amongst the notable specimens is a huge Douglas Fir, planted by Lord Powis in 1842 and once one of the largest trees of its kind in Britain.

The Arboretum is open from 12 noon to 5 pm on every day except Saturdays, from April through to September. The charge is £3 per adult and details can be found in the car park at main entrance to Hall.

The gardens at Walcot Hall are open to the public for only two days a year during the Whitsun May Bank holiday weekend, when the display of Rhododendrons and Azaleas are at their best – see details within the Events section of this website.
