Gresgarth Hall sits at the mouth of a wooded valley, with the brook Artle Beck drawing a sweeping curve as it rushes past the house. Dark yew hedges stamp formality near the house and echo the stone walls etched on the hills beyond.

Mary Keen’s greenhouse is cleverly positioned to form part of the circuit around the garden; you can admire her collection of pelargoniums by walking right through it. The path here is lined with jewel-coloured dahlias and the tall, luminous-blue Salvia patens ‘Guanajuato’ emerging from clouds of Erigeron annuus.
