Acorn Bank Garden at Acorn Bank Garden & Watermill

This tranquil garden, sheltered by ancient oaks and soft terracotta brick walls, is a haven for wildlife. The herb garden is nationally renowned, with 250 medicinal and culinary herbs and the orchards are packed with traditional fruit varieties. Wander along the Crowdundle Beck to the partially restored watermill, then enjoy the magnificent backdrop of the rose-pink sandstone house, which although not open to the public, adds to the wonderful setting. Taste local produce at the tearoom or stay a while longer in a holiday cottage.
