RHS Grimsthorpe Castle
Grimsthorpe Castle sits within the rolling hills of south Lincolnshire and dates back to the 13th century. Formal gardens were created in the 17th century and it is in this style the gardens greatly remain.
Looking away from the 18th-century Sir John Vanbrugh north front, a wide tree-lined vista carries the visitor's eye over large formal lawns softened with swathes of long grass. To the west of the castle lies a shrub rose border protected from the elements by the first of many long yew hedges. The hedges have been cut into swags so that at regular intervals visitors have framed views of the stunning landscape beyond.
