Guests are welcome to explore the grounds at Yeldersley Hall. We have twelve acres in total. This includes the formal gardens to the front of the house where you will find lawns, mature rhododendron bushes, azaleas, a pond/rockery area and usually lots of rabbits. The formal gardens are at their best in the spring. Please click images to enlarge.
There is a kitchen garden of which we which we cultivate only a small part (due to pressure of time). The kitchen garden contains Victorian greenhouses which we restored when we acquired the property. They date back to the 1900s and were described in some 1929 sale particulars as the ‘modern greenhouses'. Please click images to enlarge.
To the rear of the property, and overlooked by the Stable apartment, is the walled garden. In the walled garden we have created an ornamental parterre, an orchard garden and a rose garden. It provides plenty of colour throughout the summer.
Guests can also visit the Clock tower which contains an interesting early 20th century turret clock by Smiths of Derby. Those with an interest in horses will see that it also houses a traditional tack store. Of further interest are the dog kennels which are specifically mentioned in the listing to the property. They now are used to house chickens and sometimes pigs.
For the energetic amongst our guests, a tennis court is available for use and we have spare rackets and balls which guests can use. Croquet and boules sets are also stored in the laundry room for guests' use. We have plenty of storage space in our old stables should anyone wish to bring bikes with them, although we do ask guests to bring their own locks.
