Escot Gardens, Maze & Forest Adventure

Enjoy the 220 acres of natural historical gardens and fantasy woodland which surround the ancestral home of the Kennaway family. Escot is a place for people who love Nature - here are paths, trails, vistas to explore and numerous places to picnic, things to enchant and delight visitors of all ages. Take your time - relax.

The original gardens were set out by Capability Brown and have been magically brought to life through the skill and imagination of Land artist and television gardener Ivan Hicks.
