The high stone walls of Glinbury create a private setting for the early 19th century house and gardens that was probably home to the owner of the mill that stood on the southern boundary at Glinbury. The river that powered the mill still meanders through the site and is a most attractive feature in the gardens that have been established here since the early 19th century. The original gardens contained a planted woodland, lawns and ornamental walks which are all being retained and enhanced by Heatherbrook. It is evident that generations of gardeners have added to the flora and fauna and in the victorian spirit of collecting plant species from around the globe there are dozens of decorative species adorning the setting where today, warm rustic brick and render facades rise from the rich green landscape to deliver a complimentary crescendo of colour and texture that is at a glance both elegant and timeless. Glinbury offers beautiful mature gardens and elegant modern homes in an ancient river valley.
There are hundreds of trees and plants at Glinbury, many are native but a very many are not and have been collected from wide and far since the early 1800’s. This page depicts a small selection of the plants and trees you will find should you decide to take a stroll through the gardens of Glinbury.
