Lowther Castle and Gardens
130 acres of lost gardens dating back 350 years set against the dramatic backdrop of a ruined early 19th century sandstone Lowther Castle there is an amazing parterre tapestry garden, designed by Dan Pearson.
At the wonderful Lowther Castle and Garden there are broad lawns and wide paths, original garden buildings and features, and wilder areas, with beautiful mountain views from the west escarpment; wildlife including red squirrels and crested newts thrive.
You will not find perfect lawns or borders but the place has a magnificent atmosphere that many love.
