Spring in the Great Court Garden at Athelhampton

Carefully edging the pond at the Great Court

As we move towards Spring, the Great Court Garden at Athelhampton begins to feel quietly enchanted under an unbroken blue sky. The fountain catches the late afternoon sun, its water sparkling and scattering light, while the tall yew pyramids cast long, graceful shadows across the lawns.

With visitors welcomed throughout the year, we have no hurried reopening as the seasons turn. Instead, as Winter turns to Spring, the rhythm of the year continues as it always has done, with the gardens and house working in harmony.

With the return of warm spring sunshine, there is a renewed lightness in the step of the gardening team. The lawns are freshly mown and carefully edged, their crisp lines set against the softness of new growth, bringing a quiet sense of order and delight to the season.

With the house and gardens open to visit daily, come and experience the warmth and serenity of Athelhampton for yourself.
