This is the Lakeland Horticultural Society's flagship garden, set on a hillside as you drive from Windermere and follow the signs to Ullswater towards the Kirkstone Pass. As you reach the gardens you are rewarded with a most magnificent view over a pond and woodland areas reaching out across the valley towards Lake Windermere in the distance.
The gardens are worked by volunteer members of the Lakeland Horticultural Society and many were happily busy about their work as we had a wander through the gardens. It felt as though we could just pick up a garden trowell or hoe and join them.
Glorious views of the Lakeland valleys and mountain tops.
Holehird houses a stunning collection of hydrangeas.
There are a series of ponds with waterfalls, pools and rock garden areas.
Beautiful foliage of all colours.
Stunning crocosia.
Our visit was in late August and there were stunning displays of vivid autumnal colours.
Beautiful anemones giving a wonderful show.
A view of the stunning walled garden.
Colourful arrays of heather in the rock garden areas.
A peaceful place on the hillside to sit and enjoy a peek of Lake Windermere.
Pretty display of mixed flowers in the courtyard.
