A haven of peace above the tranquil beauty of the River Test. The gardens at Houghton Lodge are listed Grade II*, and surround an enchanting and unique example of an 18th Century 'Cottage Orne'.

Chalk Cob walls enclose a traditional Kitchen Garden with espaliers, herbs and heated greenhouses, a hydroponicum and an orchid collection. The Gardens are both formal and informal with fine trees, a woodland walk, stunning herbaceous border and topiary peacock garden. Do not miss the topiary puffing dragon!

Houghton Lodge is a popular TV/Film location including the film 'Wilde' and BBC 'David Copperfield'. This attraction has a further 14 acres adjoining the garden that provides an experience of the natural world with meadow walks through the peaceful and unspoiled surroundings of the River Test where you will meet Tom, Dick and Harry, our new Alpacas. A perfect day trip/day out for all the family.

Houghton Lodge Gardens welcomes dogs on a short lead. The venue is also licensed for weddings.
