Graythwaite Hall Gardens  
                       

 


      Welcome

Graythwaite Hall Gardens deftly illustrate the genius of Thomas Mawson. Commisioned in 1896 he was instructed to utilise the existing contours and landscape to make a garden combining the formal and informal.

It is essentially a Spring garden settled in a wooded valley of twelve acres exhibiting an extensive collection of rhododendrons and azaleas. It is much as Mawson finished it although the modern era now offers a greater selection of hybrids and species.

The Dutch Garden and Rose Garden are typical of the period and visitors can explore the paths through lawns and woodland to gain contrasting views of their surroundings. Towering above are some impressive trees, now giants sheltering smaller ornamentals and the Dogs cemetary and arboretum are havens of peace.
