Introduction
Sizergh Castle, Rock Garden is located in a dell and fed by streams, pools and waterfalls from the lake above. It was created in the early-20th century and originally planted with alpines. It was an open landscape but encroaching conifers have enclosed the garden.
The National Trust restored the garden in the late-20th century and replaced the alpines with ferns. The plants are part of the National Collection of Hardy Ferns.
