Hidden in the heart of the Lincolnshire countryside, (just a 25 minute drive from Bourne!), you’ll find a place where history and nature go hand in hand – Easton Walled Gardens.

Whether you’re in need of a peaceful walk, adventurous day out, or an inspiring place to reconnect with nature, our gardens offer it all. To find out more about what you can enjoy here – from seasonal displays and family-friendly trails to quiet corners perfect for reflection – be sure to check our visitor information and plan your visit.

One of the joys of visiting Easton Walled Gardens is how the landscape transforms with the seasons. Winter brings delicate snowdrops peeking through frost-covered soil, while spring paints the gardens with tulips and daffodils. Summer is a symphony of colour, with fragrant sweet peas climbing trellises and bees lazily drifting between borders. In autumn, golden hues take over, making it the ideal time for crisp walks and quiet reflection.

No matter when you visit, you’ll find yourself immersed in the natural beauty of a place that’s been cultivated with care and passion.

Easton Walled Gardens is a place that brings joy to everyone, whether you’re an avid gardener or simply enjoy a leisurely stroll. Families from Bourne will love exploring the hidden corners of the gardens – the sort of places where imaginations run wild, and children can pretend they’re discovering a secret world.

For those wanting a bit of peace and quiet, the Meadow Retreat offers a space to sit and unwind. Bring a good book, or just listen to the breeze rustling through the trees. If you’re visiting with friends, you can wander the grounds together, sharing stories or discovering new blooms at every turn.

After a morning of exploring, what could be better than settling down for a well-deserved treat? The Applestore Tearoom is an essential part of the Easton experience. Nestled within the gardens, it offers a delicious selection of homemade cakes, fresh scones, and hearty light lunches.

Imagine sitting with a warm cup of tea, the scent of lavender drifting through the air, and a slice of something indulgent on your plate. It’s more than just a tearoom – it’s a moment of peace in the middle of your day.
