Tour the edible gardens at the award-winning Askham Hall restaurant, cafe and spa hotel, with a chance to see the vegetable patches where produce is grown for the kitchens.

The Grade II listed gardens are full of stunning features, including colourful terraces, a 230ft long double herbaceous border, unusual species of plants, formal lawns, kitchen gardens, woodland, meadows and ponds. Take in the views down to the River Lowther and enjoy the secluded spots of the garden. Get even closer to nature with the Askham animal trails. Along the family-friendly route there is the chance to see shorthorn cattle, rare-breed pigs, boer goats, ducks and chickens. For the eagle-eyed, the surrounding area is also a haven for red squirrels, rabbits, badgers and pheasants.

The tour begins at 2pm. Please arrive at the cafe by 2pm, where your guide will meet you.
