Garden Tours at Rippon Lea
Join us for an insightful 45-minute social history tour of the garden
Rippon Lea Estate's garden covers almost 14 acres and is of national significance. The Estate boasts an abundance of beautiful trees, sweeping lawns, a lake, a look-out tower, an orchard of historically significant fruit varieties, and a windmill. The archery hut, boat house and tennis pavilion are reminders of how previous owners of Rippon Lea spent their leisure time. At the heart of the garden is a magnificent fernery, the largest of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere. During this guided walk visitors will learn about the development of the Estate and hear how it has been shaped by the lives and fortunes of its owners.
The garden is tended by a Head Gardener, a staff of five gardeners and a team of volunteers.
Please note that the pathways can be wet and muddy, please bring suitable shoes.
