About the garden

With French terraces, an Italian garden, a Dutch canal and even an observatory, the formal gardens beside Harlaxton Manor are a feast for the senses. Manicured lawns, blooming flowers and sculpted trees decorate the rolling hills that wrap around the manor which creates a spectacular backdrop.

The gardens also include an incredible 19th century conservatory where orange trees and tropical plants grow, some of which were donated by the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew.

Had the opportunity to study and live there as part of the University of Evansville experience. Lots of history and secret passages, as well as easy travel to most European countries. Greatest adventure of my life.

Open day at Easter was very welcome as it is not normally open to the public. Lovely weather and students and staff very friendly. Plenty of activities arranged for the family. Always wanted to visit here.

A stunning location with lots of walks. We visited this time to do the bluebell walk for the 2nd time. This is the best place so see a carpet of blue. Definitely worth a visit when thus is on and only £5.

Beautiful location. 45 minutes long walk in the bluebell woods. Points 1-8. Little hike. Best place for photoshoot 😀

My daughter and I visited on Easter Saturday. To be honest, I found the interior very disappointing - no furniture or information, and very plain and lots of more modern wooden panels. It's nowhere near as opulent as I expected, considering the exterior. I asked a student a question about the house, and her reply was "I don't know anything about the house, I'm only here to study"!! We had a walk round the gardens which were ok, but the gardeners need to clean up water features and the statues, they'd look so much better. I'm glad I've seen it, but I don't feel any need to visit again, unfortunately
