About the garden

Owned by

Harry & Lynda Rowlinson

If you are looking for days out in Cheshire, Abbeywood Gardens has a lot to offer, including vast woodlands and six acres of informal and formal gardens – all different and distinctive in their own right. Plus, you can relax and enjoy the atmosphere in the Garden Cafe, which serves fine homegrown and local quality food. 

Visitors will also find a 1.2-mile wildlife walk incorporating 27 acres of mature and newly planted woodland, and a young 7-acre arboretum with rare deciduous and evergreen tree species, as well as beautiful views of the Utkinton Hills.

Abbeywood Gardens is the perfect place to while away an hour or two, celebrate a happy event or spend an afternoon relaxing.
