A Getaway Just Outside Of Melton Mowbray: A Historic Retreat Reimagined
Easton Walled Gardens is no ordinary garden. With a history spanning over 400 years, this stunning estate has undergone remarkable transformations. Once part of the historic Easton estate, the gardens fell into neglect after the house was demolished in the mid-20th century. However, in the early 2000s, the Cholmeley family embarked on an ambitious restoration project to bring this hidden gem back to life. Today, Easton Walled Gardens offers more than just breathtaking scenery. The estate features a selection of charming properties available for visitors to stay in, along with a wide variety of activities to enjoy during their stay.
