Stagshaw Garden, Woodland garden in Ambleside, England
Within eight acres of land near Lake Windermere, Stagshaw Garden contains collections of rhododendrons, azaleas, magnolias, ericaceous trees, and camellias on steep hillsides.
The National Trust acquired this land from Wansfell Estate in 1957, after which Cubby Acland established the garden in 1959 and maintained it until 1979.
The garden exemplifies the gardenesque style of the 19th century through its natural integration of plant specimens within the woodland setting.
Due to limited parking space for only four to five cars, visitors should consider leaving their vehicles at Waterhead and walking to the garden entrance.
A woodland stream flows down through the garden, crossing under wooden bridges and creating small waterfalls among the planted areas.
