Visit Culland Hall in the morning and spend the afternoon in Parwich

After one of the harshest Winters for many years, the magnificent gardens at Culland Hall, nestled in their parkland setting near Ashbourne in Derbyshire are finally coming into bloom.

Organiser Lucy Thompson has decided that after five years of holding the fair at the end of April that it was about time that guests had the opportunity to see the roses in all their glory. Rose lovers will relish the chance to see over 100 varieties of roses, such fragrant beauties as Fantin Latour and Konigin von Danemark. The enchanting garden, set in 5 acres, is divided into “rooms”, each favouring rare and specialist plants – from the hot border, white garden, traditional vegetable and woodland walk, each and every taste is catered for.

Lucy, who grew up within spitting distance of Sissinghurst in Kent, planted her first White Garden at the age of twelve. Together with her husband Simon, who was born and brought up at Culland, they have spent the past fourteen years redesigning and restoring the garden in this idyllic corner of Derbyshire.

Culland Hall is just 6 miles south of Ashbourne, 20 minutes from Parwich and 7 miles north of Derby, off the A52 at Brailsford.
