Serpentine hedges Norfolk

The garden is famous for its symmetrical serpentine hedges, perhaps the only ones of its kind in Norfolk, which give the impression of a theatre stage with side wings. In July 2022 The English Garden Magazine wrote about Swafield Hall on the page The unmissable events, garden news and the very best plots to visit: “Swafield Hall, Norfolk – four enchanting acres surround this 16th-century manor house. Admire a parterre designed by Martin Perry and a packed summer garden. The Pear Tunnel leads to a garden pavilion, with a view across an orchard containing several Norfolk apple varieties”.  Swafield Hall participates in the National Garden Scheme for charity alongside the best gardens in Norfolk, including the famous East Ruston Old Vicarage garden, the Queen’s Sandringham gardens, Lord and Lady Walpole’s Mannington estate, Sheringham Hall and Houghton Hall.

If you visit Swafield Hall, you can enjoy the garden during your stay, explore the parterre, orchard, autumn garden, summer garden, secret garden, Apollo promenade, pear tunnel, duck pond, croquet lawn, patio with barbecue area and tennis court. Swafield Hall’s gardens are beautiful in every season.
