About Smiths Hall

Delightful mature 3 acre gardens surrounding a beautiful Queen Anne House (not open to public). The garden layout follows that of the 18th C original. Lose yourself in the numerous themed rooms of this wonderful varied garden with its sunken garden with ornamental pond, colourful iris beds, rose walk, formal rose garden, peony walk, colourful herbaceous borders, varied shrub borders and selection of specimen trees and topiary. Then follow the avenue of trees to the woodland walk and 9 acre park stocked with a huge variety of young native and American specimen trees, then take the meandering walk around the meadow with stunning views back to the house and across the surrounding Kent countryside. You can then relax and enjoy teas and home-made cakes by the pool. The garden has ongoing projects to improve the floral displays and bring underutilized areas back to life over the coming years.
