For Garden Lovers

The Cossington Park Gardens

Our own gardens have some interesting features:

• An old and extremely rare species of Chinese Elm, brought here by my ancestors from China, believed to be the only one of its type and age in the UK

• A wide variety of old English apple trees, pears and other fruit trees

• Several ponds with great crested newts

• Rare cowslips

• A fine clump of lime trees

• We have recently put up owl, bat and bird boxes and hope to welcome new winged guests

There are several large garden centres nearby.
