Picton Castle Gardens & Gallery
Picton Castle has been the historic home of the Philipps' family who are direct descendents of Sir John Wogan who built the Castle over 850 years ago. The 40 acres of gardens are open to the public. Part of the Royal Horticultural Society Regional Garden Scheme they are home to a feast of Rhododendrons, Embothrium and Eucryphia. The Woodland Gardens burst with colour during the spring with blankets of wild flowers blended with beautiful shrubs from all corners of the world. In the summer the restored walled garden with its enchanting fountain and fernery is a haven of tranquillity. The art gallery is host to a variety of artist exhibitions and the events schedule is a popular feature of the Picton Castle calendar with garden lectures, open air theatre and family days being just some of the fun events on offer. The Courtyard is the hub of activity with Maria's Mediterranean restaurant serving delicious home cooked food, after which a visit to the Castle gift shop and the children's art room is a must.
