Stackpole Walled Gardens

The 6 acre walled garden on the Stackpole Estate was created around 1770 to provide vegetables and fruit for Sir John Campbell (Lord Cawdor) and his family. The garden has been leased from the National Trust since 1987 to provide local adults with learning disabilities, practical experience and qualifications in horticulture.
The freshest home-grown fruit and vegetables in season are for sale in our garden shop and "pick your own" soft fruit is available during the summer months.
