Boldshaves Garden in Ashford is part of a secluded private estate surrounded by ancient woodland in an area of outstanding natural beauty on the eastern edge of the Kent Weald. Described as a place to slow down and feel close to nature. The seven-acre garden is partly terraced and features a wide range of ornamental trees and shrubs. A walled garden contains a variety of semi-hardy and southern-hemisphere plants. The ancient 100-acre woodland that borders it is accessible year-round, with woodland anemones and bluebells in Spring.
Enjoy a visit, or book a private tour.
The venue is home to the Wealden Festival and regular events and retreats.
