King's College Fellows' Garden and Provost's Garden

Fine example of a Victorian garden with rare specimen trees. Rond Pont entrance leads to a small woodland walk, herbaceous and sub-tropical borders, rose pergola, kitchen/allotment garden and orchard. The Provost’s garden opens with kind permission, offering a rare glimpse of an arts and crafts design. Chance to view the new wildflower meadow created on the former Great Lawn.

About King's College Fellows' Garden and Provost's Garden

The Rond Pont entrance to the Fellows’ Garden celebrates the mathematicians who studied and researched at King’s over the centuries. In 2020, a new East Anglian wildflower meadow was seeded across the Great Lawn directly in front of Kings’ Chapel with the aim of creating a biodiverse habitat to encourage wildlife. The meadow has been cut for the last three summers using shire horses pulling traditional ploughs.

Tickets available to purchase at the college's shop in King’s Parade
