At the north end of the walled garden is the range of 19th century glasshouses. These are used for growing peaches, nectarines, grapes and exotic looking flowering plants. There is a friendly Tearoom at the entrance to the gardens, serving lunches and teas, with a small shop and a selection of plants for sale.
