Eggleston Hall Gardens

Behind old stone walls near Barnard Castle, Eggleston Hall Gardens is a place with a story woven through it. The plant nursery flourishes within the framework of a traditional walled garden, where terraces, glasshouses and mature borders create a sense of somewhere loved across generations. It is as much a garden to wander as a place to buy from — the sort of visit where you lose an hour among unusual plants and quiet corners before heading home laden. Deep in Teesdale, it makes a rewarding stop for anyone who treasures growing things and gentle history.

A genuinely characterful walled-garden nursery with real heritage and hundreds of admirers — a countryside destination that offers far more than plants alone.
