Great Chalfield Manor

Garden Holidays Banner

Great Chalfield Manor House is very similar to Great Dixter in Sussex and the layout of the borders to the back of the House are also similar. The gardens were designed by Alfred Parsons.
Here the gardens lead down to a moat which almost surrounds the property. The National Trust have made good progress in improving the gardens which are now worth seeing in their own right.
There are some very colourful borders in many parts of the garden and you will also notice the unusual Yew Topiary in the form of a house - but without windows.
Autumn borders extend the season.
The lawns leading down to the moat have been left for wild flowers and overall the garden has a  calming romantic atmosphere.
In February the gardens are usually open for snowdrops.
