Fairhaven Woodland and Water Garden Outdoors

The Fairhaven Woodland and Water Garden comprises 73 hectares (180 acres) of beautiful ancient woodland, water gardens and a private broad at South Walsham in the heart of the Norfolk Broads. The garden was left in trust by the 2nd Lord Fairhaven in 1973, and was opened to the public in 1975. We are working hard to preserve and enhance the garden according to Lord Fairhaven's wishes.

Over three miles of wonderful woodland walks - all easy walking with superb views across South Walsham Inner Broad. Boat trips daily, April to end of October (additional charge) - great birdwatching from the boat. 950 year old King Oak and many other ancient oaks and beech trees. Nature reserve with bird hide.

We have a tearoom, gift shop, children's trail and plant sales area selling rare and unusual plants, several of which are propagated from garden stock.

Most of the garden is accessible to visitors in wheelchairs please telephone or email for further information.

Group visits: groups visits are welcome; we can provide special guided tours. .
