Hindringham Hall

Hindringham Hall A Tudor house surrounded by a 12th century moat provides a magical backdrop for the beautiful gardens of Hindringham Hall. There are 2 holiday cottages. N.B.

Situated just 4 miles from the North Norfolk Coast this private garden opens 2 days a week during the summer months. The mediaeval fishponds and moat are designated ancient monument whereas the Tudor Hall is grade 2*. Together they provide a backdrop for this magical garden. The house was bought in 1993 and the garden has been developed by the owners over that time gradually spreading out from the

house. Initially there was no intention to "open" the gardens but after several successful N.G.S. open days, visitors were asking to see the garden at other times of the year. We hope you enjoy it. There are 2 detached holiday cottages within the grounds if you wish to prolong your visit- see website www.hindringhamhall.org

In the West lawn look for the Eucomis or “Pineapple Lilly”. The name comes from the Greek eu (good/beautiful) and Kome (hair). It refers to the tufts that appear on the top of the spike of star shaped florets- beautiful hair. The other name “Pineapple Lilly”, references the striking pineapple-like flower spikes. From top to bottom an interesting plant.
Gardens open Tuesday 1-5 and Wednesday 10-2 until mid October

Our beautiful New Zealand flax sending up 14 spikes as it flowers beside the Moat at Hindringham Hall.
Planted about 20 years ago in a perfect spot but has this summer done for it and is it going to survive or is it making lots of seed to replace itself??

The Moat Level has dropped. It does have springs but with drought these have stopped; it can also be fed by the stream but the water has become a trickle. With a lower water level the Moat Walls are vulnerable. Standing with your back to the Pleached Hornbeam you will see across the Moat an exposed line of flints which once would have been the Moat wall. In some places, where the flint walls have gone, we have planted Water Iris as a buffer to the erosion by the water of the banks.

Enjoying the shade offered by the giant Holme Oak and Whitebeam trees the Oak leafed Hydrangea fare better than most hydrangeas in these hot conditions. Beside the path in the water garden and facing North they continue to flower long after their companions of Hosta and Hemerocallis have finished
