The Gardens The gardens are divided into a myriad of different areas and uses. Initially comprising beautiful wild flower meadow to the left-hand side on entry to the property followed by a bark chipped play area before extending to the expansive formal lawns located to the rear of the property. Around the gardens are generous, well stocked, impeccably maintained borders comprising evergreen hedging, specimen shrubs and trees providing a good degree of seclusion and privacy. To the rear most boundary of the gardens there are carefully mown pathways bisecting wildflower meadows, each of which have different themes. Undoubtedly one of the most impressive features of the property – the flower gardens provide a private woodland walk, carefully and deliberately crafted to maximise natural beauty and living conditions for wildlife. 'The Avenue' is the starting place for the garden walk, centred around a substantial natural pond. Finally, the walled gardens, which are naturally formed by the remnants of the exterior walls to Barton Hall, are home to delicately planted flower gardens, aptly named 'The Rose Garden' and the 'The Cutting Garden' providing a stunning foreground for the ruins of the Hall.
