Woodland Grange is a park-like woodland garden that specialises in hydrangeas. Originally developed as a tree nursery from 1958 until 1994, it was taken over by the Currys and established as a garden over the last decade. Preceding the wealth of summer hydrangeas, are camellias and then the rhododendrons for which Kimbolton is so well-known in the springtime. And added to these are delicate cherry blossoms. Underplantings include drifts of daffodils and bluebells followed by a display of hostas. Then in autumn the deciduous trees reveal their rich colourings. Special features at Woodland Grange include the extensive stone walling, the chapel which is available for garden weddings and visitor use, and the boutique cottage which offers quality accommodation in a garden setting. There is also an outdoor bath and shower for a real nature experience. Other woodland gardens worth visiting in Kimbolton include Friars Glencolyn across the road, Woodlands Garden along the road, Heritage Park, 3 minutes up the road, and Cross Hills a 5-minute drive up the road. |
