Hergest Croft GardensHergest Croft Gardens is located on the outskirts of Kington, 12 miles west of Eardisland on A44. Well worth visiting at any time of year but particluarly during the autumn months when the colours are spectacular.
Four distinct gardens extend over 50 acres, with over 4000 rare shrubs and trees.
Described as 'one of the finest collections of trees and shrubs in Britain', the gardens are sure to delight everyone.The Kitchen Garden contains an avenue of ancient apple trees over a riot of bulbs in spring, with magnificent 120 foot double herbaceous borders, an old-fashioned rose garden as well as a traditional fruit and vegetable garden.
The Edwardian House is surrounded by many special plants, including magnolias, cherries and hydrangeas. The croquet lawn is enclosed by tall yew hedges containing vases of sweetly scented lilies in summer.
One of the special features of Hergest Croft Gardens are the woodland gardens set in a ravine. Beautiful in the spring when the mature rhodendrons and azaleas are in bloom and even more spectactular during the autumn.
