There have been gardens at Hodnet since the 11^th century when the Heber-Percy family constructed their first house in the parkland, their serious development began in 1921 by the late Brigadier Heber-Percy.  Today, the 60+ acres are renowned as amongst the finest in the country.  Forest trees provide a wonderful backdrop for formal gardens planted to give delight during every season, woodland walks amongst flowering shrubs and a daisy chain of ornamental pools.

The Restaurant serves light lunches and afternoon teas.
Special Open Days 12 noon to 5 p.m.

You are going to have to wait for more pictures of my recent visit (although here is another), but for a taster some pictures from previous visits are here and the map of the gardens can be found here.
