Garden Holidays Banner

The Manor at Hemingford Grey was recreated and made famous as the house of Green Knowe by Lucy Boston in her series of children's books, now regarded as classics.
This moated house is surrounded by four acres of garden renowned for its collection of over 200 old roses and a collection of irises . There are hidden corners in the garden which are a real delight.  With its large herbaceous borders of mainly scented plants the garden gives the feeling of being a cottage garden full of favourite plants in a rather formal setting of lawns with topiary coronation shapes and chess pieces in their black and white planted squares.
