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. 

Your visit helps people in crisis

The Red Cross helps people in the UK and across the world get the support they need in an emergency. With Open Gardens, you'll be raising funds for this important work.
