 Woodland Walks

To the North West of the garden is Warren Wood which from 1905 was planted with a fine collection of Picea (spruces) and Pinus (pines) from China and Japan. It also has the rarely seen and elegant Himalayan Juniper (Juniperus rigida). Other conifers include Cupressus sempervirens, the Italian cypress and Pinus attenuata from the lower slopes of South Oregon and California. The wood also houses some extremely rare broadleafs such as Malus, Prunus and Photinia.

Further to the West is Stephanie’s Glade which has many rare species of broadleafs (Robina, Ulmus, Juglans, Carya, Fraxinus, Tilia and Quercus) and is one of the most interesting walks at Borde Hill.

To the South of the garden is the South Park with the lakes and parkland which is edged by many delightful trees giving all season colour - such as the Acer Briliantissima that provides an excellent backdrop. Beyond the lakes is Stone Pits wood that has a wide range of Quercus and Acer and several champion Alders as well as a small planting of very rare larch (Larix gmelinii).
