Goldsborough Hall will be opening on Sunday 18th July 2021 for the National Garden Scheme. The grounds in July are full of interest and garden highlights include the Rose Garden planted with old roses – Old China Blush, Little White Pet and Comte de Chambord – interplanted with lavender angustifolia ‘Old English and lined with lavender ‘Munstead’.

The beech hedges were planted in Princess Mary’s time and the sundial in the centre is a gift to Princess Mary from the people of Horton, Oxon. The two 120ft herbaceous borders were planted in a Gertrude Jeykll style in 2006 and include ever-lasting sweetpeas, irises, helianthus, rudbeckia and dahlias.

There are some magnificent and ancient trees in the grounds including a giant redwood, a very rare sorbus, a pseudo acacia from the 1750s and one of the oldest horsechestnuts left standing in the country.

A visit to Goldsborough Hall’s gardens would not be complete without a stroll up the quarter-mile Lime Tree Walk, planted by Royalty in the 1920s and a visit to the Glasshouse and Kitchen Garden - which will be bustling with produce this time of year.

Cost £5 per person. Children free.
Hot & cold drinks along with sandwiches, cakes and snacks will be available to purchase on the day.
Dogs on leads are welcome.

*NEW* -We are delighted to be welcoming Royal biographer Elisabeth Basford to the Hall to talk about her new book Princess Mary, The First Modern Princess – the first on this rather unknown royal.
