Description
Extensive ornamental gardens dominated by romantic Gothic Castle, built in 1801 of local sandstone. Beautiful Temple Water Garden, Rose Garden and many mixed borders. The gardens at Cholmondeley Castle were originally laid out when the 1st Marquess of Cholmondeley built the castle between 1801 and 1804. Located off the A49 Whitchurch to Tarporley road, the gardens have been extensively replanted since the 1960's under the direction of Lady Cholmondeley.The gardens and grounds feature many beautiful specimen trees, herbaceous borders, shrubberies, ponds and lakes with the highlight being the beautiful Temple Garden. Careful planting has ensured it is a garden for all seasons to enjoy throughout the year, with a wealth of plants, shrubs and bulbs. The grounds also contain a nature reserve and a rare breeds animal centre complete with children's corner. Visitor facilities include a tearoom, picnic area, gift and plant shop and a farm shop located just outside the main Castle entrance.
Please note that the Castle is not open to the public.
