The Gardens at Minterne House

The Minterne Valley was landscaped in the manner of Capability Brown in the 18th Century. The gardens are laid out in a horseshoe below Minterne House, with a chain of small lakes, waterfalls and streams. They contain an unique collection of Himalayan Rhododendrons and Azaleas, with Spring bulbs, Cherries, Maples and many fine and rare trees; the garden is noted for its Autumn colouring.

Dogs are welcome on leads. Please note that some of the paths are uneven and steep making access for wheelchairs difficult. There is free parking and picnic facilities available.
