Dorset Gardens
Minterne Gardens form a horseshoe below the house which has been the home of the Churchill and Digby family for centuries. A chain of ponds, waterfalls and streams plays through the gardens, with Himalayan Rhododendrons, magnolias, hydrangeas, cherries, elms and maples featuring. The garden offers displays of spring bulbs and lush autumn colours.
