Description
An attractively laid out, privately owned 15-acre garden, Hole Park in Tenterden is often referred to as a hidden gem. It has been owned by the Barham family for the past 4 generations and is set in over 200 acres of classic parkland. The colourful gardens enjoy far-reaching views over the hills, woods, and fields of the picturesque Kentish Weald. They are a skilful mix of formal design and more naturalised planting, giving colour throughout the seasons. They also run several events throughout the year, including its Bluebell Spectacular, workshops, fairs and lots more.
