    • Stunning formal garden
    • Extensive herbaceous borders
    • Over 40,000 plants in the summer months

    It’s hard to imagine a garden today being planted on such an extravagant scale. The heart of the property is the formal walled garden originally laid out in 1675 by Sir Alexander Seton. In the 1950s, the Trust set about re-creating the gardens following designs dating from the 17th century. Today, Pitmedden features over 5 miles of box hedging arranged in intricate patterns to form six parterres. These parterres are filled with some 40,000 plants bursting with colour in the summer months.  MORE>

    Garden, Museum of Farming Life, shop and tearoom: 1 May to 30 Sep, daily 10–5.30 (last admission 5).
    Grounds: all year, daily.
