Rode Hall and Gardens


Rode Hall gardens are set in a Repton landscape created by John Webb between 1800 and 1810. The principle features are Rode Pool and the terraced rock garden and grotto where, in February snowdrops are in abundance followed by daffodils, bluebells, rhododendrons and azaleas in May. The formal garden was designed by Nesfield in 1860 where the flower beds are filled with roses and herbaceous plants. There is an Italian garden in the ruins of the old Tenants´ Hall. Flowers vegetables and fruit are grown in the walled kitchen garden which is at its best from the beginning of June.
