About

Castle Ashby Gardens is a spectacular blend of Capability Brown’s classic parkland, elegant Italian gardens, a charming Butterfly House, and a tranquil Arboretum. The gardens are open year‑round and offer a variety of themed sections: the formal Italian Gardens & Orangery with its stately terraces and lush lawns, the lively Butterfly and Secret Gardens where thousands of colourful butterflies roam among fragrant flowers, and the expansive Arboretum & Nature Trail that showcases a curated selection of trees and native plants. Adjacent to the gardens is a small menagerie, adding a delightful wildlife element for visitors of all ages. Each area is carefully maintained, making the gardens a popular destination for families, nature lovers, and garden enthusiasts alike.
