Hestercombe Gardens

Just outside Taunton, in the Somerset countryside, Hestercombe boasts a remarkable collection of gardens, including a Victorian Terrace and Woodland Garden, a Lutyens-designed Edwardian formal garden, and a restored 18th-century landscape garden.

Visitors can wander through these meticulously crafted spaces, each reflecting a different era and style, from the vibrant floral displays of the Victorian garden to the architectural elegance of the Edwardian design and the serene, natural beauty of the landscape garden.

The estate also features a contemporary visitor centre, a plant shop, and a café, providing a comprehensive and enjoyable experience for garden enthusiasts and casual visitors alike.
Dogs are welcome in most areas, but they must be kept on a short lead. There are some specific areas where they are not permitted, such as inside the café and shop.
