This is a chance to take some time out and enjoy the beautiful gardens within the grounds of the former home of Lord and Lady Swaythling.
Since 1994 The Gregg School has sought to conserve and enhance the Grade II listed house and gardens so that it is a wonderful environment for the development of young people and the local community.
The gardens were designed in 1912 by the renowned English landscape gardener, Gertrude Jekyll. They display many of her classic design features, including a pergola, herb garden, herbaceous borders and a Sunk Garden surrounded by dry-stone walling. The gardens have in recent years have been restored by the Friends of Townhill Park House Gardens and volunteers are always sought to help with the upkeep of the of the listed Gertrude Jekyll gardens.

If you would like to volunteer in the Gardens there are some 'Posse Days' where volunteers are welcome to come along and help out in the garden.

If you would like to become a member of The Friends, the annual subscription is £5.00 for single or £8.00 for family. Members get additional viewing access to the gardens twice a year on 'Members only afternoon'. Members also receive regular newsletters and invitations to restricted entry events. The subscription and proceeds from open days are used to buy items such as plants.
