About Dunsborough Park

Dunsborough Park, Ripley, Surrey dates back to the dissolution of the Monasteries when the lands of Newark Abbey were given to a local nobleman. The farmer taking over the land built a farmhouse around a single central brick chimney which has now grown to become Dunsborough House. The gardens were laid out in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. Re-opened to the public in 1997 after being restored by antique garden statuary dealer, Dolf Sweerts de Landas Wyborgh and his wife, Caroline, this magnificent 100-acre estate comprises a series of historical gardens brought to life through vistas and garden architecture.

April Tulip Festival: Formal borders and colourful informal display in meadow. June: Mid-summer herbaceous and roses. Sept: Autumn colour and dahlia displays. Pre-booking essential, please visit www.dunsboroughpark.com for information and booking.
