The secluded gardens at Minterne, famed for its seasonal profusion of Rhododendrons, Azaleas, Japanese cherries and Magnolias are set in a peaceful wooded valley and have been described by Simon Jenkins as ‘corner of paradise.’ In late May and June many fine specimens of Davidia Involucrata (the Pocket Handkerchief Tree) are a particular feature. Small lakes, streams and cascades offer a new vista at each turn around the 1-mile round horseshoe-shaped gardens, and in the summer the streams are enhanced by primulas, astilbes and water-lilies. Over 200 Maples and Acers provide sensational autumn colouring.

A much loved and cherished country house, Minterne is licenced for Civil Marriage Ceremonies and hosts a very limited number of weddings each year, making each one a unique and very special occasion, with the gardens providing a stunning backdrop for photographs. Whether you want to enjoy a peaceful stroll through the wild woodland gardens, hold a Corporate event, host heritage dining for that special occasion, or organise a guided house tour for a special interest group, please contact 01300 341370 for details or email enquiries@minterne.co.uk website www.minterne.co.uk
