Graythwaite Hall GardensGraythwaite Hall Gardens were planted about 1890 by Thomas Mawson, (see Brockhole) The resultant Arts and Crafts style design, scattered with sundials by architect Dan Gibson, is a delight in spring, when the rhododendrons, azaleas and flowering shrubs are in glorious bloom. There is a Dutch Garden, yew hedges and topiary, and a formal rose garden as well. Best in: spring. The 17th century country house of Graythwaite Hall is not open to the public, but the woods surrounding the Graythwaite estate were a favourite walking spot for William Wordsworth, and provide the backdrop for the Beatrix Potter story, 'The Fairy Caravan'.
