About Crugsillick Manor

A 2 acre hillside garden surrounding the C17/C18th house. The garden has been entirely redesigned and substantially re-landscaped and planted – most of it over the last 15 years.
The garden is still young but the structure is emerging more strongly year on year.

In the main part of the garden, a series of oval forms enclose lawns and a large pond and are defined and linked by gravel paths and yew hedges. Large mixed borders of shrubs, perennials and bulbs provide a long season of colour. There are also specialist areas of planting – gravel beds for succulents, a dry Mediterranean shrub bank, a lush ‘hot garden’, a damp pond border, a rose and paeony border and a woodland bank. A small walled kitchen garden is used for fruit and vegetables and has greenhouses for succulents and propagation. The planting is complex with over 1000 species and varieties.
