Burrow Farm Gardens is a beautifully landscaped 10 acre garden. There are many interesting features, including a woodland garden in the Roman clay pit with ponds, moisture loving plants and wild flowers. Old roses and herbaceous plants are featured in the Pergola walk. The terrace garden specialises in late summer flowering perennials.
