Escot House Ottery St Mary and places to stay

Escot Gardens - Laid out in the 18th century as 220 acres of ‘Capability Brown’ parkland and gardens, generations of the Kennaway family have since travelled the world bringing back a wide range of shrubs and magnificent champion trees. Contemporary design elements have been added by Ivan Hicks, the well-known TV gardener-artist. Woodland paths and trails lead to the remarkable new 4,000-beech-hedge maze; to the birds of prey with their summertime displays; through the beginnings of an International Tree Foundation wood, carpeted with beautiful flowers in Spring; through the wild boar and otter enclosures; to an award-winning aquatic centre and a dedicated wetlands conservation area.
