Extensive gardens with lake ,trees and shrubs. Pathways to most of the garden ,wide enough for wheelchairs,but electric chairs may find some gradients difficult. Interest throughout the year but autumn colours are spectacular. Access to site along narrow roads and parking is limited. Refreshments available...More

A Tranquil Oasis

A beautiful old established garden with lakes and specimen trees plus the national collection of astilbes. We had a reasonably priced lunch in the genteel cafe and bought plants from the on site nursery. Memorable and delightful.

A Relaxing Visit

We went in September and found the gardens very relaxing and tranquil, although not a great deal to see. We expected to see large borders of perennials. It's probably best to visit when the camellias or national collection of astilbes are in flower. The café...More

Sorry to say it was disappointing

I feel almost apologetic about leaving a poor review but it is genuinely how we feel about our experience today. The gardens are in a fabulous position and have all the potential to be a must visit for all garden enthusiasts, however, the general impression...More

Not a lot to see in September...

Would have just gone the cafe and nursery for free if I had known there wasn’t much to see for £7 ahead in the gardens

A hidden gem

My visit to Marwood Hill Gardens was last year, and before the October 2017 date stated (which I'm unable to back date further to the summer). The place is magical, but on a smaller scale than the usual rambling National Trust properties. A lovely peaceful...More

It's a very picturesque place to visit, beautiful gardens and lakes, but the stand out thing for us is the tea rooms. It is free to enter if you only go to the tea rooms & dogs are allowed on a lead. My wife &...More
