Description
Weirs Barn is a Grade II* listed barn surrounded by a beautiful Arts & Crafts garden, both of which were designed by architect Robert Weir Schultz. He gradually transformed the land from fields into a series of ‘garden rooms’, by planting topiary hedges and a shelterbelt of trees to give protection and privacy. The overall structure of the garden remains much as it was in Schultz’s time. True to the Arts & Crafts style, this 2.5 acre garden contains topiary peacocks, hedges, a tennis lawn, sunken garden, croquet lawn, an old mulberry tree, hooped border and a nuttery. The garden has been beautifully restored by the current owners.
Terence Lyons, the very experienced gardener owner of Weirs Barn who has restored the garden over the last 35 years or so, will greet you on arrival with an introduction to the restoration of the garden. This will be followed by a break for tea and coffee, after which you will be free to view the gardens via a self-guided visit.
