Slightly further away than my usual posts, Hampton Gardens are 34 miles away but well worth the drive…
🌿 Walled gardens, waterfalls & Secret tunnels 🌿🌸
If you’re staying at Easy on the Wye and fancy a romantic outing that’s equal parts tranquil, beautiful and inspiring with some fun thrown in, Hampton Gardens is the perfect escape.
Just a scenic drive from the hut, this enchanting estate offers peaceful discovery—with formal gardens, woodland paths, riverside strolls, a secret tunnel (or two) and even a maze to lose yourselves in (and then find each other again!).
✨ Wander through the Victorian walled Kitchen Garden, bursting with heirloom apples, espaliered pears, and veg grown for the Orangery Café.
🌹 Breathe in the sweet scent of summer in the Rose Garden, where winding paths and pavilions invite you to slow down and soak it all in.
🌳 Get lost (literally) in the 1,000 Yew Tree Maze, then climb the Gothic Tower for a magical view—and maybe even a surprise exit…
🌸 In midsummer, the Dutch Garden is at its peak with blooming agapanthus and perfect symmetry. And don’t miss the Sunken Garden, where lily pads float beside a waterfall you can walk behind!
💜 At its most photogenic in May and June, stroll beneath the 170-year-old Wisteria Arch, buzzing with bees and smelling divine, before stepping onto the South Lawns for a coffee stop and forest views.
📍 Just one of many special places you can visit during your stay with us.
Whether you want to spend a lazy afternoon exploring gardens, enjoying nature in full bloom, or simply unwinding on a bench with a book, Hampton Gardens offers a peaceful contrast to the thrill of the hills or the bustle of Hay. And after a day among blooms and butterflies, what could be better than returning to your cosy hut and sinking into the hot tub with a view of the River Wye?
A perfect day out from your perfect base at Easy on the Wye.
