The garden and space

The enchanting hidden gem that is The Wild Garden was meticulously designed in the 1920’s by Colonel and Mrs Warren and has been carefully maintained through the generations of the Warren family ever since.  The majestic trees are now hundreds of years old and are guardians of this secluded space whilst the abundant mature flora and fauna add a rainbow of colour and change whatever the season.  Protecting this unique setting and its habitat is the reason The Wild Garden only hosts a limited number of events each year.
