Mayfield Garden Entry

Mayfield Garden is 15 hectares (36 acres) and the design has been inspired by the best gardens throughout Europe. As a result, 15 hectares (36 acres) of the garden are now open for your enjoyment 363 days of the year. The garden is visited on foot at your own pace. To allow access to both the upper and lower levels of the garden for those using wheelchairs, or other mobility devices or pushing prams a mobility accessible path has been developed.

Some of the spectacular features to explore include:
• The 2.5 hectare Water Garden
• The Bluestone Bridge
• The Grotto (cascading waterfall you can walk behind!)
• The Iron and Stone Arbour
• The Copper Tree Fountain (sourced from the Chelsea flower show)
• The 12.5 metre Obelisk Pond and Allée of London Plane trees
• The Gallery (Mayfield’s new exhibition centre)
• Interactive garden games
• Café featuring paddock to plate goodness
• Nursery featuring a range of exotic plants.

The Café and Nursery have been added to enhance your Mayfield experience (no fee to enter these areas). They too are open 363 days of the year (closed 25 & 26 December).

From the water lilies in bloom in summer, the spectacular colours of autumn, the raw structure on show in wintertime and the lush growth and heady scents of spring this cool climate garden is amazing in all seasons.
