Hatfield House Gardens


Dating from 17th century the gardens at Hatfield House have evolved into a gardener´s paradise. Visitors can enjoy the peace of the West Garden with its scented garden and fountains, and view the famous Knot garden adjoining the Elizabethan Old Palace where Elizabeth I spent much of her childhood. Formal and wilderness gardens, delightful in spring with bluebells and daffodils, are open throughout the season. The East garden adjoining the Jacobean house, home of the Cecil family for 400 years, is more formally planted with parterre, topiary, herbaceous borders and vegetable garden. The Park has extensive walks and picnic area.
