Quarry End is a 1½ acre woodland garden developed over 20 yrs on the site of an ancient quarry. The garden offers a wide variety of mature trees, shrubs, perennials, a fernery and potager. It inc a reclaimed quarry woodland, an C18 ice house and offers lovely views over South Durham. The Dovecote has three themes; an English cottage garden featuring espalier fruit trees, and heavily scented tea roses, a Japanese garden with a Moon Gate leading to a collection of specimen Acer trees and a small Zen garden overlooking a Koi pond. The compact vegetable plot is wrapped round with a Grade II listed vented wall and has great space saving ideas. Castle Barn gardens are now well established with fruit trees, raised beds and colourful borders.
