About

The 35 acres of listed historic gardens surrounds the early 13th century castle (not open to the public as it is a family home). They contain an amazing collection of rare trees and shrubs as well as a formal rose garden, herbaceous borders and an early 19th century traditional walled vegetable garden.

The medieval chapel, featured on Time Team, contains ancient effigies and predates the castle itself. The woodland walks will lead you through stunning ancient trees, past the remains of medieval fish ponds and finally to the tidal estuary of the River Cleddau.

Upton Castle Gardens as they are today were first laid out in 1927 when the gardens were created from what was then woodland and meadows.
