Enjoy Charles Brocklehurst's informal garden as it comes alive in spring; snowdrops, narcissi and cyclamen lead the way, and are soon followed by the vibrant colour of rhododendrons, magnolias, and azaleas. The walled garden has been restored in line with Brocklehurst's vision, and now the white perennial borders sing out in summer.
On warm days, enjoy a picnic in the shaded wooded garden. Autumn provides a great opportunity for invigorating walks around the garden. If the place runs Gift Aid on Entry, we'll offer you a clear choice between the Gift Aid Admission prices and the Standard Admission prices at the admission point.

Brocklehurst was a rhododendron enthusiast and began planting varieties of rhododendron in the s.
He focussed primarily on traditional purple varieties, but the National Trust has since replaced many of these with other colours to create more variety in the garden. The Trust has also planted eucryphia, roses, hydrangeas and lacecaps to create interest throughout the year. In spring you will see snowdrops, magnolias, and daffodils. The best time to visit Hare Hill is in early summer when vivid colour is provided by over 70 varieties of rhododendrons. At the centre of Hare Hill is a walled garden which features wire equestrian sculptures and a pergola.
The equestrian sculptures depict Col. Brocklehurst's twin brother Patrick, who died in a riding accident. The walled garden was originally created to provide cut flowers and vegetables for the house residents, but Col.
Brocklehurst, working with the well-known plantsman James Russell, transformed the space into a peaceful retreat. Borders line the sunny west wall and colourful plants now grow where the old greenhouses once stood. Plants in the walled garden follow a white theme, with iris, poppies, white catmint and lupins. There are over 50 holly trees including an unusual Highclere Holly Ilex x altaclerensis. The gardens surround a late Georgian house built in for William Hibbert and enlarged later in the Victorian period by the Brocklehurst family.
The house stands two storeys high and is built of red brick under a slate roof. The house is listed Grade II for its heritage value.
