A 20 acre private garden set in the heart of North Devon

This magical and very special 20 acre private garden with three lakes is set in a valley tucked away in North Devon only 4 miles from Barnstaple. Created by Dr Jimmy Smart VMH in the late 1950’s the gardens are a wonderful haven in which to relax and enjoy the impressive collections of plants, shrubs and trees and experience the views and peaceful atmosphere

Four National Collections and twenty two champion trees

Marwood Hill Gardens is home to four  National Collections  which are looked after in association with Plant Heritage, formerly the N.C.C.P.G. (The National Council for the Conservation of Plants and Gardens). Our National Collections include our award winning Astilbes, Tulbaghia, Iris Ensata and our very own Marwood Hill Garden Heritage Collection.
