Ancient Tudor gardens
Set in 15 acres of land, Thornbury Castle has enviable grounds consisting of manicured gardens like that of the Privy Garden and Goodly Garden to the working Kitchen Garden. The background of the rolling countryside, and our beautiful outside spaces evoke the Tudor era as much as the stone walls and majestic interiors of the former royal castle itself.

Sustainability
It's one of our top priorities in the Thornbury Castle gardens, and we strive to make our day to day running of the hotel as sustainable as possible such as growing our own produce with a non-dig gardening method, food and coffee waste is turned back into compost and we limit the amount of chemicals used. Take a look at some of our best practices.
Kitchen Garden
Head Gardener Jeff, and Will and their team of volunteers are currently growing a selection of fruits/vegetables and herbs in the kitchen garden, much of which will be picked and then served for dinner, or within a cocktail, that evening - it’s all part of our sustainability pledge.
