Larmer Tree Gardens

Larmer Tree Gardens Set in the outstanding landscape of the Cranborne Chase, these beautifully laid out gardens were created by General Pitt Rivers in 1880. Originally designed as pleasure grounds for public enlightenment and entertainment", the Larmer Tree is an extraordinary example of Victorian extravagance. Recognised by English Heritage as a Garden of National Importance they were the first privately owned gardens to be opened for public enjoyment. The Fairy Door Trail is (largely) for the kids: see if they can spot all the secret doors throughout the garden!"
