At Castle Hill Gardens there is so much beauty around every corner. As you wander our gardens amongst the beautiful blooms there is so much wildlife to see, big and small. You will find these stunning swans swimming along the river when you enter the gardens.

The Tanglewood tree is a wonderful natural playground for children to climb, play and hide beneath. It's the simple things that bring the greatest joy ✨🌳 #nature #outdoorplay #woodland #wildlife #outdoordevon #castlehillgardens #historicgardens #makingdens

Apricots tend to be hand pollinated as they bloom very early in the year, when weather is cold, damp and windy. This prevents flying pollinators from visiting the blossom and getting the pollen from the anthers to the pistil. #handpollinating #apricotblossom #gardenerstips

The 'Lucy Lou' has striking white flowers held on lax trusses with contrasting black stamens, and this pink flowered 'Cilpinense' has delicate pink blooms that appear to reflect bright light, even on a dull day. #rhododendron #cilpinense

The collection of Rhododendrons in the Woodland Garden are bursting into bud, and this charming specimen, Rhododendron 'Golden Oriel' var. It has to be seen to appreciate it's rich golden blooms. #rhododendrons #woodlandflowers #castlehillgardens #springblooms

A great way to extend the flowering period of your herbaceous borders is to use spring flowering bulbs. This little crocus appears in late winter/spring as a violet flame above the brown earth. They open their petals on sunnier days, exposing a rich orange carpel and stamens.

Finally some brighter skies ahead ☀️ After yesterday's blue skies and Government update we are feeling a little more uplifted, spring is feeling ever closer - signifying new beginnings and hope. This little snowdrop was taken by our head gardener, Beccy and it's a beauty!

Castle Hill gardens and woodland, a fun outing for families looking to get close to nature (and get out the house 😅) to make the best memories. This photo was taken just past Ugley Bridge, a classic game of pooh sticks is always such a winner with children and parents alike!

Did you know that the Triumphal Arch is exactly half a mile as the crow flies from the house at Castle Hill?! It is also a popular backdrop for photographs for many couples who get married at Castle Hill and you can see why, the views across Devon are stunning.

Injecting a pop of colour into the gardens today is this Hamamelis x Intermedia Arnold Promise. Its common name is Witch Hazel and it has lovely fragrant yellow flowers during the winter. Adding some much needed colour to lift our spirits into the weekend.
