Discover the historic estate that surrounds Croxteth Hall, a listed heritage landscape with many old estate buildings and features.  Take a ramble around the Park, including the beautiful Victorian Walled Garden.

The Victorian Walled Garden is a beautiful and peaceful place, hidden by its high walls. This ‘secret garden’ was created close to the Hall on the fertile flood plain of the River Alt; a place for growing the finest vegetables, fruit, and produce for the Earl’s kitchens and dining table, but also a place with flowerbeds to enjoy and paths to stroll along.

Created in early Victorian times, it replaced an older ‘Physic Garden’ but has changed little since then.  It has some notable historic features, including heated ‘Flue Walls’, a Mushroom Growing House, and fruit trees carefully trained to grow into a variety of decorative (and productive) shapes.

Long borders of perennial flowering plants bring colour and scent to the garden, particularly in the summer months.

The Walled Garden is also home to four National Plant Collections, part of the Plant Heritage scheme, with our gardeners growing and conserving this important genetic heritage.
