    The gardens at Floors are a delight to explore with fine herbaceous borders, fruit trees and meandering paths. The Walled Garden is a showpiece of seasonal colour and interest. Rooted in our fascinating history, the glasshouses date back to the 1850s and continue to grow plants and fruit for the Castle. Come and see our new developments in the gardens, including a substantial oak-framed fruit cage and new Tapestry garden.
    Inspired by the French-style parterre, this lovely garden, enclosed by the walled garden and beautiful Rhododendrons, features the intertwining initials of the present Duke and Duchess of Roxburghe. Wander up to the top terrace, planted with old varieties of apple trees, where you will find an enchanting summer house, the Queen's House. Built in 1867 for Queen Victoria to take afternoon tea, this beautiful building, as well as the garden, is available for private hire.

    How to find us
