Since 2006 Doddington has been our much-loved family home. We have continued Claire’s parents work in devoting ourselves to the upkeep, repair and progression of the Doddington Estate including; the development of the Farm Shop, Bike Shop, Cafe, Restaurant, Coffee Shop, Home Store, Farrow & Ball, Country Clothing Store, Bauble Barn, Christmas Tree Sales and Weddings and Events businesses; increasing public access; organising concerts and exhibitions and the development of various accommodation across the estate. There is always something new to see and do on the estate whether that is inside the Hall, in the five acres of gardens, one of our events, or on one of the estate walks. We look forward to welcoming you to Doddington.

Thought we'd squeeze in a visit to the Hall on the way to Lincoln, but this place offers so much more than we bargained for! Parking is across the road, with a short walk to the garden entrance. The house was closed, but the sculpture trail more than made up for that. The breadth of creativity was fantastic, with a style to suit everyone. The trail was very well laid out, with an intricate path leading in and out of every corner of the garden. I think we saw more of the place with the trail in place that we would have just wandering about. The sculptures were a wonderful addition, but the gardens themselves are an absolute delight. Very well planned and maintained. Surprise highlight was the team of black chickens that appear out of nowhere, chase each other and then dash off again! There's a nature trail too, plus a longer walk to the pyramid monument down the lawn avenue and the longest trail around the circumference of the estate. You could easily spend a day here. Cafe and farm shop to visit on the way out too. Very good toilet facilities.

Enjoy visiting here. They had a wide range of things to see from shoes, cloths, bedding, books, gifts, a food hall with organic food and butchers, a restaurant serving good quality food and of course the obvious plants and general garden items. Something for everyone I would say. Afternoon tea is fabulous.

We have enjoyed many visits to this attractive garden centre which has an excellent selection of all types of plants, flowers, shrubs, herbs, trees, pots and garden furniture. The knowledgeable staff have always been very helpful, pleasant and friendly. The cafe has two terraces, it is beautifully landscaped with flowers and there are trees which provided us with some welcome shade as we visited on a scorching hot day. In addition to the usual Greylag and Canada geese we were lucky enough to see a pair of Bewick swans.
5. The Saltmarsh Garden
