Highclere Castle garden


Set within a Capibility Brown inspired park, Highclere Castle´s gardens are hidden from view. Gravel paths guide the visitor, past the tropical house housing citrus fruits, grapes and a eucalyptus grown from seed by the 7th Earl, to the Monk´s Garden and beds planted with roses, scented geraniums, lavender and pinks and walls lined with espalier medlar, quince and fig trees. Behind the towering yew hedge is the White Garden, added in 1987, where a gate in the wall brings you to the exquisite Secret Garden with its colourful curving herbaceous borders and serpentine paths designed by James Russell in the mid-1960s.
