Welcome to Guy’s Cliffe Walled Garden

The Walled Garden was originally part of the kitchen garden for Guy’s Cliffe House from at least the 1770s to the late 1940s. In recent years the garden had become totally overgrown & derelict.

Clearance work on the site started in January 2014. Since then volunteers have contributed over 13,000 hours of work to bring the garden back to life.

The aim of the volunteer project is to restore the walls and glasshouses and return the site to a working Georgian/Victorian kitchen garden for the enjoyment and educational benefit of the community, and to give an insight into how the garden supported an important country house. The garden is listed as a Grade II site by English Heritage on the Register of Parks & Gardens of Special Historic Interest.

The garden is open to the general public on event & volunteer days, 10am to 3.30pm. Our next 2017 full Open Days (with information boards, catering & activities) are:

Sunday 2nd July -Warwick Open Gardens Day

Saturday 22nd July -National Gardens Scheme Open Day

Sat 9th & Sun 10th September -Heritage Weekend Open Days.

Entry is free, except on 2nd July (£5 one-off charge for all Warwick gardens open) & 22nd July (NGS open day, when there will be a £2.50 charge for charity).

From March to October, visitors are especially welcome on the
1st and 3rd Sundays of the month to look at our progress.

Visitors are also welcome to pop in on any of our normal volunteer days when we are working in the garden.
