Goodnestone Park Gardens

One of only three gardens in Kent to be awarded the coveted two stars in the Good Garden Guide. Voted UK’s sixth favourite garden in Daily Telegraph survey and finalist in 2009 Country Life Awards. Covering approximately 14 acres, the garden has a formal area around the House, with a spectacular box parterre, planted to celebrate the millennium. The gravel garden was planted in 2003 and this leads to the woodlands garden beyond which is the Golden Arboretum planted in 2001 to celebrate the Golden Wedding of Lord and Lady FitzWalter. The walled garden, covered in roses, wisteria, clematis, jasmine with rose-beds underplanted with perennials is famous for its peaceful atmosphere and 2009 has seen the creation of an impressive water feature reflecting the view of the village church tower. There is also fruit, herbs and vegetables in the kitchen garden.
