Dewstow Gardens & Grottoes
2012-07-23
It’s astonishing to think that, only 10 years ago, this strange and wonderful garden was buried beneath thousands of tons of soil, lost and forgotten for half a century. Built around 1893, Henry Oakley created a garden – his own personal wonderland that was described by the few who visited as a “magical and wondrous place”. When Oakley died in 1940, the gardens fell into disrepair, and were eventually buried and returned to farmland just after ww2. After a huge excavation and renovation project beginning in 2001, the gardens are now open to visitors during the summer months.
