About Houghton Hall Walled Garden

Remodelled in 1991 by the current Lord Cholmondeley in memory of his grandmother Lady Sybil Cholmondeley, the five-acre Walled Garden at Houghton was opened to the public in 1996.

Divided into themed areas one quarter is an Italian garden of pleached limes, another is a formal rose parterre which is designed to mirror the William Kent ceiling in The White Drawing-Room of the house. There is a Mediterranean Garden with a raised pond copied from one in Granada and a dedicated formal kitchen garden of vegetables, herbs and and espaliers of apples and pears and a walkway of cherry trees.

The garden is cross-sectioned by a spectacular double-sided herbaceous border with a glasshouse at one end and a rustic temple at the other. There is a wisteria pergola and a number of statues, fountains and contemporary sculptures including Jeppe Hein’s ‘Waterflame’ and Stephen Cox’s Flask II – and Richard Long’s ‘Houghton Cross.’ These artworks form part of a larger collection of permanent pieces located in the grounds including works by James Turrell, Rachel Whiteread, Phillip King, Richard Long, Anya Gallaccio, Tony Cragg, Sean Scully, Ryan Gander and Claudio Parmiggiani.
