Gorhambury House garden was laid out in the 1820s and has evolved over the generations. The current owners have engaged Tom Stuart- Smith to do the design and planting plans and this blends with the older elements that are still in place. In May and June there are some wonderful rhododendrons, camellias, flowering shrubs and trees as well as formal lawns, wildflower meadows and historic topiary.
