Mannington Gardens

The gardens around this medieval moated manor house feature a wide variety of plants, trees and shrubs in many different settings.

Throughout the gardens are thousands of roses especially classic varieties. The Heritage Rose and Twentieth Century

Rose Gardens have designs reflecting their date of origin

(from the fifteenth century to the present day) and in the kiosk is a display about rose history.

Near to the Hall is a knot garden with scented plants and on the South Lawn is a classical temple and the recently planted Sensory Garden with plants selected for touch, sound and taste, as well as smell and colour.

New for 2008 is a link between the wood walk and the 20th Century Garden. A shady area designed as a garden for the less able, with raised beds and an unusual water feature, can be found near the vegetable garden, which was redesigned and replanted in 2007/08.

Wildflowers are encouraged around the landscaped lakes and in the Chapel Garden, where follies surround the ancient ruins of Mannington Church.
