Pentillie Castle

From snowdrops in February, to berries that adorn the woodland trees throughout the winter, the gardens have a show of colour almost all year round. They are not heavily manicured, by contrast the woodland flowers are left to go to seed and the undergrowth left wild for the resident hedgehogs, and birds to live in harmony. Trainers or boots are recommended for these garden paths. You will be tempted to explore the many wandering paths past old ruins, ponds, up and down huge stone staircases, and via the remains of old summer houses.

As a woodland shrub garden, Pentillie’s gardens are usually open to the public on specific days in spring, when the flowers are at their finest. However, access to the garden’s forms part of any stay, afternoon tea visit or event booking. You can see how you would like to explore and enjoy Pentillie, and details of our garden open days by visiting www.pentillie.co.uk/whats-on.
