Wortley Hall Walled Garden:

Apple Day By Ruth Price, Volunteer.

Many people will have visited Wortley Hall to walk in the beautiful gardens or have afternoon tea in the lovely dining room.

However, not everyone walks up the Peace Walk to discover the Walled Garden. This is a beautiful, historic, walled kitchen garden which is still functioning. In contrast to the formal gardens of the Hall, this is a garden dedicated primarily to growing food, including three polytunnels and an orchard with nearly 50 trees, many of which are unique Yorkshire and heritage varieties. The garden is open for visitors 10am - 3.30pm Tuesday and Friday.
