The Walled Garden

At Trudder Lodge our Walled Garden is enclosed by high walls for horticultural rather than security purposes. Originally this garden would have housed many rare and specimen plants, flowers and shrubs and the walls would have provided ample shelter from the elements. A small stream runs through the garden and flows onto the Pond beyond the walls.

At the back of this garden, nestled beneath the bushes, are the remains of an underground stone fridge, and even the original stone well. The "ice house" is a typical feature in many hunting lodges, as the hunters trappings would be hung here.

On your walk way to get to the walled garden you will pass an original wooden framed greenhouse. Today the original grape vines still flourish and planting is underway for a herb garden. This greenhouse is of Victorian design, and would have been added to the garden at the beginning of the 20th century.

At present a putting and chipping green can be found inside the walled garden, which can be floodlit at night, and it also houses a small studio –ideal for artists.
