In 2019, Leonardslee Lakes & Gardens opened its doors after a closure of 10 years, this magnificent Grade I listed garden was nearly lost forever and has been the subject of the largest garden restoration in England and possibly Europe. 

These spectacular and ancient gardens are now open for the public to enjoy once again. Many people in the local area have fond memories of their visits and life around these gardens, and we aim to protect this magnificent heritage so that future generations get to enjoy these beautiful green spaces and flora and fauna within.  

Our ‘Growing Leonardslee’ podcast brings you insights into the beautiful gardens, whilst exploring everything that we have to offer from a Michelin Starred restaurant, now with rooms, to our year-round events programme. Learn about our sculptures and vineyard, our past and our future, experience a deeper understanding of all we have to offer.
