This is a 20th-century Arts and Crafts style garden created on the site of an earlier 18th-century "ornamented glen". Of the Glen, a summerhouse, a secret path and a garden wall remain, and these features are now informally inter-planted with native and exotic species. Highlights of this romantic garden include borders of late-flowering perennials and an outstanding collection of rhododendrons, with some raised from seed collected in Tibet and Nepal by Frank Kingdon-Ward. A small plant nursery sells unusual plants raised on the site.
