Step through the gates of the Walled Garden, Helen's Bay as part of the European Heritage Open Day 2025 experience.
Nestled within the grounds of a former 19th-century Mill House, this secret garden is being lovingly restored with sustainability and heritage at its heart. Join a short guided tour and talk led by the owners James and Lorraine Small, who will share the fascinating story of the garden’s past, present and future.
