Hazelby House

The garden has been developed over the years with huge panache. The rose garden has been opened up to be better seen from the house. A yew arch leads to a long rose-covered pergola with views over the wildflower meadow to the downs beyond. A spectacular greenhouse, filled with tender treasures, presides over an immaculate kitchen garden.

The Old Mill

The River Kennet widens by the house to form a deep and wide pool. The garden is a charming mixture of softly-planted perennial borders filled with Delphiniums, Campanulas and Hemerocallis, within the structure of topiaried hedges. A gravel garden between the house and river strikes a contemporary and contrasting note.

The river fringes the garden and feeds mill streams and pools. On one side of the house lie the formal gardens, which run from the arched entrance towards the walled kitchen garden. In contrast, on the far side of the house, the planting is more relaxed as paths meander through groves of willows to a fishing hut on the river bank.
