Guests of Great Dixter House and Gardens.

In September the Sussex Heritage Trust were guests of Great Dixter House and Gardens.

Great Dixter is known for its exuberant and abundant country garden, a glorious combination of formality as laid out by Sir Edwin Lutyens in the 19th Century and the adventurous and colourful planting of Christopher Lloyd in the last half of the 20th century.

Guests enjoyed a private tour of the garden as well as a rare opportunity to see round areas of the house not normally open to the public including the Lutyens wing and Benenden Hall.

Thank you to Sussex Heritage Trust Trustee, Victoria Williams, who was formerly responsible for the historic collections in the house, for leading and organising the tour.
