News from Athelhampton House & Gardens.

Spring at Athelhampton House & Gardens in Dorset is a moment of quiet transformation, as thousands of bulbs emerge to bring colour and structure to the historic gardens. Led by Head Gardener Sophy Robertson, each garden space is planted with its own distinct character, carefully designed to complement the surrounding architecture and herbaceous planting. In the Corona Garden, deep velvety tones dominate, with varieties such as Queen of the Night and Merlot creating rich shade

Our busy restaurant is frequently packed with visitors - some who have come to explore the house and gardens, and others who have simply come to enjoy the delicious Dorset food specially prepared by our chefs each day. With visitor demand for the restaurant increasing as we move from Winter to Spring, we've developed a new menu . Our lunch menu has been dramatically extended, with starters and burgers now offered alongside our usual offering of cooked lunches, jacket potatoes

If you have been thinking about making the switch to electric, there is now an even better reason to visit Athelhampton. As an established self-drive location for Tesla  for over a year, we are pleased to see our cars swapped for the latest models, bringing visitors an even more up to date driving experience. Now available from the estate are two sleek black vehicles, the Tesla Model 3 Long Range  and the latest Tesla Model Y , ready to be enjoyed on the open roads of Dorset.
