About Stanton in Peak Gardens
Stanton in Peak is a hillside, stone village which is a Conservation Area in the Peak District National Park. Two beautiful cottage style gardens are open, both enjoying glorious views. Steve's garden at 2 Haddon View is at the top of the village and is crammed with plants. Follow the winding path up the garden with a few steps. There are cacti flowering in the greenhouse, lots of pots, herbaceous borders, three wildlife ponds with red and pink water lilies, a koi pond, lots of rhododendrons and a cosy summerhouse. Enjoy home-made cakes and refreshments on one of the patios. Just down the hill is Woodend, where Will has constructed charming roadside stone follies on a strip of raised land along the road. The hidden rear garden has diverse planting, an extended vegetable plot, and the 'pop-up' pub.
