Cranborne Manor

This delightful garden surrounds the ancient Cranborne Manor House.  Walk through into the walled kitchen garden  which is divided into four parts with apples in espalier under-planted with alpine strawberries. 
The path leads you towards the entrance to the Manor Garden. On either side each section is divided into four – one is flowers for picking, another is a collection of lavenders, the third is filled with vegetables round a circle of artichokes, and the last is full of sunflowers, under-planted with annual wild flowers.
This garden has evolved over the years, each generation adding their bit. Les Dinan, the head gardener presides. With his brother Chris, he is responsible for it being the garden it is today

2011 Cranborne Manor open
