Larmer Tree Gardens

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

Taking their name from the ancient traditional boundary between Dorset and Wiltshire, the Larmer Tree Gardens are the 1880 creation of General Pitt Rivers. The first privately owned gardens to be opened for public enjoyment, these 11 acres of pleasure grounds overlooking the Cranborne Chase contain an interesting collection of Victorian buildings, from a Roman temple to Nepalese rooms. Camillias and Rhododendrons brighten the woodland spring, while hydrangeas and Eucryphias are striking in midsummer. Lovely autumn colour, providing year-round interest for the visitor.
