Mothecombe Gardens

Mothecombe Gardens are situated above Mothecombe Beach, at the mouth of the Erme estuary on the Flete Estate. Tucked into one side of a valley running down to the beach, the garden is sheltered from the prevailing south-westerly salt-laden winds, allowing tender plants to flourish.
Overlooking the entire garden is Mothecombe House, a Queen Anne house with additions by Sir Edwin Lutyens. On the south front there is a walled garden featuring Lutyens Terraces planted with wisteria, irises and agapanthus, as well as a lawn with herbaceous borders. A door leads to an orchard underplanted with daffodils, with a camellia walk to the woodland garden.
Other highlights include a bog garden, a Garden Cottage and a second walled garden filled with rows of lavender and other pollinator-friendly plants.
