Enjoy a country estate experience with something for all the family to enjoy – from stunning gardens to birds of prey, treasure hunt events and nature walks. Surrounded by wooded countryside in an area of outstanding natural beauty, the lovely landscaped gardens are set in the grounds of an imposing Victorian mansion and cover ten acres.
There is a notable woodland garden which includes many different varieties of rhododendron and azalea; also a large Edwardian rock garden with pools; a formal sunk garden, originally designed by Markham Nesfield, with borders - at their best in late summer boasting an exciting array of herbaceous perennials and annuals; and a recently completed brick and flint gothic folly.
Extensive lawns and avenues are framed by impressive clipped yew hedges and many fine trees with far reaching rural views. Children will love the woodland walk, and with themed days thoughout the year devoted to nature-themed hunts and trails, they will be entertained while adults enjoy the peace and tranquility that Doddington Place brings. The bird of prey flying demonstration takes place at 3pm, and special events run through the year with a family friendly theme. Our tea room serves a variety of hot and cold light lunches, refreshments and delicious homemade afternoon teas and cakes – the perfect way to end your day exploring this beautiful country house estate.
