Mottisfont Abbey

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

The National Collection of Roses calls the grounds of this 12th century abbey home. The estate includes Mottisfont village and surrounding farmland and woods. The park features the largest London plane tree in England, plus small formal gardens.
Abbey: This 12th-century Augustinian priory was converted into a private house after the Dissolution and still retains the spring or 'font' from which its name is derived. The abbey contains a drawing-room decorated by Rex Whistler and Derek Hill's 20th-century picture collection but the key attraction is the grounds with magnificent trees, walled gardens and the National Collection of Old-fashioned Roses. The estate includes Mottisfont village and surrounding farmland and woods.
