Garden & Estate
Come and stroll around Brantwood’s estate which offers magnificent views of Coniston Water and the Lakeland mountains beyond. There is a wealth of interest from fine and exotic rhododendron, spectacular spring and autumn colour, to ancient woodland and Ruskin’s own unique gardens.
During the high season there are regular guided garden walks. Our knowledgeable guides offer a real insight into Ruskin’s life
and ideas.
