Abbey Dore Court is a 18th century coaching inn with a Victorian (PiP 1) wing attached. It is situated within the renowned Abbey Dore Court Gardens: a mature, six acre, plant-lovers’ garden developed by the present owner Charis Ward with formal, wild and river areas set in the Herefordshire countryside. Just over the River Dore bridge is a further four acre meadow full of unusual trees. Abbey Dore Court Gardens - open to the public since 1976 - are made up of a number of very different parts. Just after the entrance one will find a relatively new area with bamboos, trees and shrubs and several borders add colour and interest. The walled garden has nine individual borders, divided by brick paths. Along the River Dore is a wild garden full of trees, shrubs and bulbs. The arboretum offers young and unusual trees but also two large sequoias.
