Tucked away in the Weald of Kent, between the pretty village of Rolvenden and the charming town of Cranbrook, lies Hole Park Gardens which has to be one of the best gardens in Kent. An attractively laid out, privately owned 15 acre garden, Hole Park is often referred to as a hidden gem, and there are plenty of treasures to be found within its walls and hedges.
Hole Park has been owned by the Barham family for the past four generations and is set in over 200 acres of superb classic parkland. The colourful gardens were laid out and planted by Colonel Barham, great grandfather of the present owner. Visitors can enjoy far reaching views over the hills, woods and fields of the picturesque Kentish Weald. The gardens are a skilful mix of formal design and more naturalised planting, giving colour throughout the seasons.
Much of their beauty is owed to the great variety that they offer throughout the year from the first flowers in January to the last autumn colours in October.
