Nymans Garden

The house burnt down in 1947 and was left as a roofless Gothic ruin, which now stands wrapped in climbing plants in the middle of the garden.

A garden planted inside the ruined Great Hall opened in 2022, with steel screens inspired by the stage sets of designer Oliver Messel, whose grandfather began the gardens.

Around 30 acres of gardens, from a double border in the walled garden to a sunk garden and heather garden, lead on into ancient woodland walks.
