About Caunton Manor

The gardens date back to the early C18 and were featured in two editions of Country Life magazine in 1899. Samuel Reynolds Hole, the vicar of Caunton, introduced roses into the walled garden where he grew over 500 different varieties, but on his appointment of Dean of Rochester he started to dismantle the garden. Today we have only two original climbing roses left growing in the walled garden.
Many original trees brought back from visits around the world may be viewed in the arboretum next to the woodland walk. The gardens consist of smaller gardens to walk through many with water features and one or two steps to negotiate, but alternative routes are available. There is a kitchen garden, orchard, glass houses and a well garden which all have paths around.
The gardens evolve each year so you may find a project in progress.
