There’s something for everyone at Leslie Hill

Leslie Hill will provide everything a family needs for a great day out.

It is a compact estate of arable and grassland, woodland, yards, paths and lakes. The layout of the estate has altered little in the last two hundred and thirty years; house and land has been carefully conserved by the Leslie family. There’s a lot to see and do; experience a living history as you wander through the Georgian Farmyard among farm machines, carriages and carts, of a bygone age.

Leslie Hill is a unique place with open spaces and an air of peace and serenity. Bring a picnic or call at the Tea Room. Come and meet “Georgie” the pony and ride on the open wagon through wooded parkland. Take a stroll along the paths to the lake. Let the children see the large and small animals and try to find the ‘Leslie Hill Ladies’ in the Walled Garden. Leslie Hill has something new to offer in each season.

We can’t always guarantee the weather but we will guarantee that you will leave this lovely place feeling refreshed and relaxed.

Large restored walled garden.

Facilities are located in the main farmyard 200 metres from the Garden.

Spring highlights: Drifts of spring bulbs throughout estate.
