Borde Hill

overview

Borde Hill is a beautiful Grade II* English Heritage garden set in 200 acres of parkland with magnificent views across the Ouse Valley viaduct. Created by Colonel Stephenson Robert Clarke from seeds gathered by the great plant hunters of the early 1900s, it is renowned for its rare shrubs and trees.
The Garden includes distinctive living ‘rooms’, each with its own unique style, from secret, sub-tropical dells to the sophisticated Rose and Italian gardens. An abundance of spring-flowers gives way to exuberant summer borders of roses and herbaceous plants followed by mellow autumn colour. Nestled at the heart of the 35-acre garden and woodland is the Elizabethan house, which is open to pre-booked groups.
Open March to October, daily 10am -5pm weekdays and 10am-6pm weekends.
Regular events for all the family are held from March to October, and with gentle slopes offering easy access, picnic areas, a playground and cafes, this is the perfect place for everyone to enjoy a great day out.
