Notice
Hestercombe will be closed all day on Tuesday, December 16th, while the National Grid completes local high-voltage work across the estate. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
It’s mid-August which means the Formal Garden is blooming and it's star turn, the Great Plat, has bundles of colour. Looking at the Plat from the Victorian Terrace, the scene is punctuated by cartoon-bright blooms: electric-blue delphiniums, coral and red gladioli and sunset orange cannas. Read on to see our pick of the current crop of blooms:
