About Doddington Place

Doddington Place is surrounded by wooded countryside in an area of outstanding natural beauty. The lovely landscaped gardens are set in the grounds of an imposing Victorian mansion and cover ten acres. There is a notable woodland garden which includes many different varieties of rhododendron and azalea; also a large Edwardian rock garden with pools; a formal sunk garden, originally designed by Markham Nesfield, with borders in a new scheme designed by Kirsty Knight-Bruce of herbaceous perennials and annuals; a brick and flint gothic folly built 1997; and, newly installed at the end of the Wellingtonia walk, a disused pinnacle from the southeast tower of Rochester Cathedral topped with a 20th Century disused finial from the southwest tower of Canterbury Cathedral, a unique hybrid equidistant between the two cathedrals. Extensive lawns and avenues are framed by impressive clipped yew hedges and many fine trees with far reaching rural views.
Shortlisted for the Historic Houses Garden of the Year Award 2021.
