National Trust Emmetts Garden

General information

A Garden for all seasons; come and enjoy a peaceful woodland walk, learn about the Garden’s fascinating history, or search out some of the rarest plant species to be found in the UK.

Left forgotten at the beginning of the century, Emmetts was saved from the brink of destruction by the Trust who, since then, have striven to restore it to its former glory. The nearby ruins of what was once Weardale Manor and its exotic Gardens are testament to how close Emmetts came to being lost forever.

From tales of intrepid plant hunters, to breathtaking panoramic views over the Weald of Kent, Emmetts has everything to offer anyone that wishes to come and see.
