Distant Hill Gardens & Nature Trail encompass 155-acres of forest, fields, and wetlands straddling the town-line separating Walpole and Alstead, NH. You will find us five miles east of downtown Walpole. We are an environmental and horticultural learning center ded
icated to inspiring and empowering children and adults to cultivate an intimate connection to the natural world through education and observation. We hope visitors will leave with a better understanding of the vital connection between plants, animals, and humans, and how we can use Earth's resources in a way that strengthens and sustains those connections. Distant Hill Gardens is open to the public on select weekends from May to October, and for numerous educational workshops and talks throughout the year. We also offer guided tours for groups of any size by appointment, and self-guided tours by appointment or chance. Distant Hill Nature Trail is a mile-long wheelchair accessible gravel trail just east of the gardens. It is open daily dawn-to-dusk, free of charge. Trailhead parking is available, along with an information kiosk.
