Stillingfleet Lodge Gardens
Recommended by
Overview
Over the last 40 years, a series of small garden areas has been developed with great enthusiasm around Stillingfleet Lodge, the owners’ family home. The design is very much that of an English cottage garden; organic principles are followed and wildlife is encouraged – limited cutting back to provide a habitat for insects for example. There is a rill garden, a kitchen garden, an orchard and a perennial wildflower meadow with a pond where visitors are encouraged to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. In the summer months exhibitions are staged to support local and nationally renowned artists. There is also a café and a nursery, plus a wide variety of popular workshops is held throughout the year – beekeeping for beginners, willow weaving and apple tree pruning to name but three.

About the area
North Yorkshire, with its two National Parks and two designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is England’s largest county and one of the most rural. This is prime walking country, from the heather-clad heights of the North York Moors to the limestone country that is so typical of the Yorkshire Dales – a place of contrasts and discoveries, of history and legend.
