What to see at High Moss

Explore these four-and-a-half acres of formal and informal terraced gardens,  where the lawns and paddocks all face south, with magnificent views of the fells.

There are many fir trees, rhododendrons and azaleas to explore along with herbaceous borders and a Lakeland arts and crafts garden. The former tennis court is now a vegetable patch.
