About Beggars Knoll Chinese Garden

The garden is set on a steep chalk hillside with a beechwood as backdrop. The Chinese ‘rooms’ are separated by walls, hedges and gateways including a moongate. There are collections of Chinese viburnums and of podocarps, and there is a bamboo garden with its own pavilion.

We have recently replanted many of the beds in an effort to reduce the work load and to respond to ever-increasing drought conditions.

The relatively new, elaborately tiled ‘Kashgar Garden’, named after the city in North-west China, reflects the Islamic culture of the Uyghur people.

A free tour of the garden lasts about 1 hour. Toilet facilities are available. Teas, and home-made cake, by arrangement, are served outside on the lawn or, if the weather is inclement, in a conservatory which seats about 20 people.
