About Thrumpton Hall
The gardens at Thrumpton cover two acres, surrounded by glorious parkland and bordering a serene stretch of the River Trent, a tributary of which forms the garden’s ravishing but inaccessible water-feature. A ha-ha wall separates the southern aspect of the garden from the park; expansive lawns lead away into enchanting areas of woodland (magnificent cedars and the two oldest larches in England). Elsewhere, you will see a knot garden surrounded by giant yew hedges, glorious shrub borders and a wonderful rose garden in what once was Thrumpton Hall’s carriage court. Other surprises include: The Priest’s Walk, of ancient yews, by the riverside; a fan garden, enclosed by yew hedges, a fountain court, and an oak tree grown from the one growing at Newstead in Byron’s time. Thrumpton Hall has close links to the Byrons; his daughter stayed at the Hall when visiting Newstead. Visitors may also buy copies of the owner’s books, ‘In My Father’s House’,’ In Byron’s Wake’, and other titles, signed by the author.
