The Courts Garden, English country garden in Holt, England
The Courts Garden features multiple water features, enclosed garden sections with yew hedges, herbaceous borders, and a three-acre arboretum filled with naturalized plants.
The Courts House, constructed around 1720, served as a residence for a cloth merchant and later functioned as a local court for resolving disputes among cloth weavers.
Lady Cecile Goff implemented an Arts and Crafts design approach in the 1920s, creating separate garden sections influenced by the principles of garden designer Gertrude Jekyll.
The National Trust property opens from March to October, offering plant sales, a second-hand bookshop, and takeaway refreshments near the entrance.
The former cloth mill site transformed into water gardens with ponds and canals, utilizing the existing stream to create an integrated water system.
