Take a look at the autumn highlights of Hyde Hall with wonderful aerial footage showing the garden in all its autumnal glory.
To look at Hyde Hall today, it’s hard to imagine its beginnings as a farm estate. The farmhouse and estate were purchased by Dick and Helen Robinson in 1955 and they donated the 24-acre garden they created with the surrounding farmland to the RHS in 1993. Since its inception, this vast garden has established from a handful of trees to a jewel in the landscape.
Nestled in the heart of rural Essex, Hyde Hall is an oasis of peace and tranquillity with an eclectic mix of traditional and modern planting styles. The garden has expanded over the years and there are now more than 365 acres of garden to explore. If you can’t cover everything in a day, why not become a member and enjoy as many free visits as you like.
Hyde Hall offers beautiful panoramic views and rollings hills and is just 30 minutes from North London. The landscape continues to evolve with exciting new features creating a garden for all seasons. Other highlights include the iconic Dry Garden with its fantastic range of drought-resistant plants, and the Hilltop Garden with its roses and herbaceous borders.
