Coverwood Lakes, Garden and Farm are set in the beautiful Surrey Hills in Peaslake Road, Ewhurst.

THE GARDEN comprises a Water Garden, Bog Garden and Cottage Garden of about 14 acres in all. They are beautifully landscaped with specimen Rhododendrons up to 40/50ft tall, Azaleas and Camellias, together with a wide variety of trees and flowering shrubs surrounding the four lakes.

Natural springs in the bog garden form streams to feed the lakes. Along the edges of the streams, dampness provides ideal conditions for Lysichitum, both white and yellow and Gunnera manicata to thrive. Bordering the paths are a great variety of Hosta, Trillium, candelabra Primula and lilies of the valley.

A 3.5 acres arboretum was planted in March 1990 with young trees from all over the world. The trees have put on a phenomenal amount of growth since they were planted.

COVERWOOD FARM is a grassland farm and the main enterprises are the breeding of Pedigree Poll Hereford cattle, the production of top quality hay for horses, the breeding of sheep and the management of horses. On Open Days a farm trail is marked so that visitors can see the animals.
