Our gardens are closed to the public at the moment, but we wanted to share with you how things are progressing. So here's a photo from Rafa our Garden Conservation and Land Manager on his rounds today. The listed gardens are closed until further notice, but the footpaths of the wider estate are open for walks. Thank you to everyone for their support and for observing social distancing during this time. #gardens #gardeninspiration #flowers #nature #dartington
An update on the Dartington estate’s partial reopening before the weekend: Public and permissive footpaths on the estate (including North Woods) are open to walkers where indicated, and please note that car parks are open and charges apply. It may also be useful for you to know that Lower Drive is closed to motorised vehicles, but you can walk via that route from Totnes up towards the Hall. Our listed gardens remain closed at the current time, as do most of our businesses. Our Roundhouse Café is open 11am-4pm, daily, following work to ensure the space complies with social distancing principles. Visitors can order drinks, sandwiches, cakes and snacks to take away. Please respect the advice on social distancing so that the estate remains safe for everyone. Photo @by.aubrey #Nature #Dartington #walk #walkingthedog #walkinthewoods
If you're planning a walk up onto the estate this week along one of these paths, we are pleased to say that the Roundhouse Cafe, next door to the Barn Cinema, has now reopened and will be serving hot and cold drinks and snacks daily from 11am-4pm. Social distancing measures are in place. If you are passing by on your daily exercise or dog walk feel free to stop by for a coffee. Don't forget your keep-cup! #StaySafe #socialdistancing #Reopening #deerpark #dart
