The Gardens of Easton Lodge are an idyllic haven near Great Dunmow in Essex, with a history dating back to Tudor times and redesigned by Harold Peto in 1902. They have been partially restored to their former glory by a team of dedicated volunteers and the owners of Warwick House.

THE GARDENS ARE OPEN TO VISITORS ON THURSDAYS AND ONE SUNDAY A MONTH: THE NEXT SUNDAY OPEN DAY IS ON 14 JUNE. Advance tickets can be purchased here.

The Gardens are Historic England Grade II Registered and look beautiful in all seasons and have something for everyone to enjoy, with additional activities for families on Sunday Open Days. The Gardens showcase Harold Peto‘s grand and colourful Italian garden and his treehouse design, now rebuilt in the old oak tree. The walled kitchen garden is well stocked with fruit and vegetables, and seasonal produce is available for sale. There are ten national or regional champion trees and a collection of Essex’s historic varieties of fruit trees. In the Glade the trees enclose the World War II Memorial garden, stumpery, Japanese style rill and Japanese garden. The Archive displays a fine collection of historical photos, documents and other interesting artefacts.
