Set in 22 acres, Cossington Park has beautifully maintained gardens. We spend far more on restoring and maintaining the grounds than is justified on purely commercial terms. We nurture some very special trees, particularly the only known specimen in the UK of an unusual type of Chinese Zelkova or elm, and some very fine limes and a wide range of unusual apples and pears. The grounds include the following:

  • The Tilting Yard - a small, pretty garden in front of the house
  • The Main Garden - situated on the south side of the house and featuring a large lawn
  • 'Ha ha' - a large pond that separates the Main Garden from the Paddock
  • The Orchard - a meadow with old apple trees, mature limes, abundant cowslips, a bog garden and a wild garden
  • Bushey Close - sometimes used for horses
  • The Walled Garden - occasionally with fruit or vegetables in season
  • The games field - a grassy area beyond the stable yard for football, basket ball, badminton etc
  • The Barbecue
  • The Kitchen Garden - currently under restoration
  • Ponds - there are various ponds on the estate that are abundantly supplied with newts, including many of the endangered great crested newts. Our former fine fish collection has helped sustain the herons of the local marshes!
