Manderston

Manderston, its buildings, gardens, and park form an ensemble that has all the elaborate planning for Edwardian comfort and convenience, but is Georgian in taste, making it unique in Britain.

The impressive house, upon which no expense was spared, stands in 56 acres of formal and informal gardens, both of which are open to the public between May and September. There is plenty to discover, whether you choose to explore both the house and gardens or simply the gardens on their own, including a privately owned Biscuit Tin museum, the first of its kind in Britain!

The garden has plenty to see whenever you visit, from a lawn full of daffodils during the spring, to the gilded garden gates brought from London. There are 4 formal garden terraces on the south side of the house, plus a tennis lawn, and a croquet lawn. There is a lake and a Chinese bridge to discover, plus a boathouse, a Pheasantry Wood, now known as the Woodland garden.
