Image for Fairhaven Garden Trust

The Fairhaven Woodland and Water Garden comprises 73 hectares (180 acres) of beautiful ancient woodland, water gardens and a private broad at South Walsham in the heart of the Norfolk Broads. The garden was left in trust by the 2nd Lord Fairhaven in 1973, and was opened to the public in 1975.

This wholly organic garden is beautiful to see and walk around whatever the time of year. From bluebells, azaleas and primulas in the spring to snowdrops and berries in the winter. And there are animals too - many birds, butterflies, dragonflies, kingfishers and even deer.

There are over three miles of woodland walks with stunning views over the Broad. If you prefer you can take in the scenery by boat - there are daily boat trips from April until the end of October for a small additional charge.

The programme of guided walks and special events is comprehensive too.
