Easton Walled Gardens

If you’re searching for a peaceful escape just a stone’s throw from Bourne, Easton Walled Gardens is a destination you won’t want to miss. Located only a 20-minute drive away, this remarkable haven in the Lincolnshire countryside combines history, horticulture, and natural beauty to create an unforgettable experience. Whether you’re planning a family day out in the Bourne area or a peaceful stroll by yourself surrounded by stunning scenery, Easton Walled Gardens is ready to welcome you.

A Rich History Rooted in Lincolnshire

Easton Walled Gardens is no ordinary garden. With a history spanning more than four centuries, this estate has seen transformations, challenges, and rebirth. Originally part of the Easton estate, the gardens fell into neglect after the house was demolished in the mid-20th century. However, in the early 2000s, the Cholmeley family took on the ambitious task of restoring this historic space.

Today, the gardens are a vibrant example of how history can meet modern horticulture, with elements of the past carefully preserved while incorporating contemporary planting techniques. Every path, terrace, and border reflects a commitment to honouring the garden’s heritage while keeping it relevant for today’s visitors.

12 Acres of Inspiration and Tranquillity

Easton Walled Gardens spans 12 acres of beautifully designed spaces, each offering something unique. The dramatic terraces, once part of the grand Easton estate, now showcase a stunning array of planting schemes that change with the seasons. Walk along the long borders bursting with colour, explore the cottage garden’s charm, or pause by the meadow to enjoy sweeping views of the surrounding countryside.

For flower lovers, the gardens are a paradise. Easton is famous for its sweet peas, a fragrant and vibrant highlight during the summer months. In spring, the snowdrops create a magical carpet of white, while autumn transforms the gardens into a warm palette of reds, oranges, and golds.
