The walled garden on the south side of the Castle, known as the Ladies’ Garden, was established in the 1880s by Lady Algernon Gordon-Lennox during the period when her family rented the castle.
The existing planting was developed by the present Lord and Lady Saye & Sele and is based on advice given by the garden designer Lanning Roper in 1970.*
The garden is within the walls of what was the 16th century kitchen before it was relocated. You can still see the windows and doors located in the wall.
Shown below are borders to the side of the castle.
