Description

Holker's 23 acres of lovingly kept gardens have evolved over many hundreds of years under generations of the Cavendish family. A series of formal gardens sits within an informal landscape of rare and unusual trees, shrubs, and meadows, including the Styracaceae and Eucryphia collections, with glorious colour in every season.
