The main attraction is the walled kitchen garden, which Tennyson loved to walk and sit in with his family and guests.  All the Tennysons were keen gardeners, constantly planting shrubs, raking up leaves, gravelling paths and laying hedges; according to acquaintances, Tennyson had such a love of the natural world that he couldn’t even bear for flowers to be picked on his grounds! 

Visitors can enjoy a walk round the recreated historic parkland. You may also be lucky enough to catch sight of the red squirrels that have made Farringford their home.
