Some 40 acres of walks, lakes and woodlands beautifully maintained with a natural appeal maintained throughout.
It’s not a level flat walk as there some inclines to deal with which offer some glorious views over the whole area, quite spectacular.
Nice restaurant as well.
The gardens are the main attraction, the house is ok and has a lovely enclosed flower garden to the side with places to sit and admire the view.

As it was our first visit we were impressed by front of house staff and volunteers. The history of garden could have been given using the 3 Cinema rather than just one.
Excellent paths took you on different parts of the valley. Be careful to remember the opening times of the cafe It closes at 3pm. Another Visit would be needed to see all. However at 70mile trip maybe when Visiting Exmoor.

The gardens are so varied. Formal and woodland. Really excellent Tea Room. Plus we saw a terrific art installation in the house. A brilliant day out

We came away especially to visit this garden and at first we were disserpointed.How wrong we were we had a lovely day with the garden working it's magic on us .The amount of work that has gone on is amazing. We nearly missed and excellent video about the last family to own it as it was down below the mill.

We visited these lovely gardens at the end of an August, that was hot and dry. Dispite the large mill ponds the gardens were deeply affected by the unusally hot June and July, and so were past their very best. This is particularly true of the roses. Nevertheless, this is a beautiful place to visit with many attractive and borders, and ornamental garden features. Lovely afternoon in the sun, slowly walking around admiring some very imaginative planting in glorious somerset countryside.

Whilst on our visit to Taunton, my wife had recommended that I create a TripAdvisor account, so that I can document our experiences, and show our family back in London what an amazing time we had.
Hestercombe Gardens is such a beautiful area to spend the morning. All staff were amazingly helpful and friendly. A lovely afternoon out, which was finished off perfectly, by a coffee in their on site cafe! 😊

These are lovely gardens, but wheelchair access is limited. The Orangery is only accessible by tackling a flight of steps, and when I asked a staff member about the possibility of a ramp I was told that “Hestercombe don’t do ramps”. I find this disappointing as there is space to improve the access, so I hope the management will review the situation.
