About Exton Hall

Exton Hall is a 25 acre private garden with woodland walks that meander past specimen trees around the lakes and through the Pinetum with its Wellingtonia Avenue. The gardens include the ruins of the 15th Century Elizabethan Hall visited by both Shakespeare and Handel. The garden has open vistas as well as secluded spots with a wide variety of colour year round. To the south of the house is the sunken garden with its immaculate herbaceous border with itself bordered by a wonderful balustrade wall. The house and surrounding land has been in the Noel family for over 400 years, many members of the family have been keen botanists leaving a legacy of fine trees.
