About the garden
Clovelly Court Gardens are a prime example of a lovingly restored Victorian walled kitchen garden. Benefiting from its sheltered position on the Bristol Channel and the warm Gulf stream flowing past Clovelly, the walled garden was originally built to protect against coastal winds and supply fresh produce for the owners of the Manor house and their staff.
Exotic plants thrive in this sunny corner of North Devon. Ornamental plants, such as the Judas tree, adorn the garden with their purple flowers in late April or May, while herbaceous beds bordering the gardens burst into a blaze of colour throughout the summer. All produce is grown organically and follows a rotational system, ensuring sweet, wholesome and flavourful results.
