Holker Hall

The immaculately kept Gardens at Holker Hall (25 acres in all) are part woodland, part formal and essentially Victorian in character. 
The 200 acre 'natural' parkland is the result of the late 18th century planting of Lord George Cavendish. In the early 19th century several new features were added: an arboretum, a conservatory, balustraded terraces by the House, and a large walled kitchen garden.
Lord and Lady Cavendish have sought not only to conserve the historic but have made changes and additions to the Gardens that are still being made today the old croquet lawn planted as a 'garden room' is one of the formal highlights of a visit to Holker Hall.
