The garden at Bolwick Hall is open from 1pm to 5pm on Sundays, 3rd, 17th and 31st August 2025.

Admission is £10, children free. Sorry, no dogs admitted.

Bolwick Hall was built in 1800 on the site of a much older manor house, mentioned in the Domesday book. The manor was given by King John to Henry de Bolevic, hence the name of the property became Bolwick Hall.

The gardens were laid out by Humphry Repton, though whether it was by him or one of his family (his two sons were garden designers), we do not really know as there is no ‘red book’. However, the garden bears many of the hallmarks of a Repton garden: the lake curving around so that you don’t see the far end of it, the kitchen garden surrounded by trees rather than by a wall and the double yew hedge.

Much work has been undertaken by the current owners over the past 20 years to create a garden that retains its structure but has newer planting areas.
