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 in 2006 was a shady area designed as a garden for
the less able, with raised beds and an unusual water feature.
Wildflowers are encouraged around the landscaped lakes and in the Chapel Garden, where follies surround the ancient ruins of Mannington Church.
