Cranborne Manor is the home of the eldest son of the 7th Marquess of Salisbury the Viscount Cranborne. It is surrounded by beautiful gardens which are open to the public to enjoy once a week from spring and throughout the summer. It is best to check the website before your visit to confirm the day it is open, during 2014 it is open every Wednesday from 9am until 5pm with last admissions at 4pm. Unfortunately the Manor itself is not open to the public but just viewing the magnificent building from the gardens is a pleasure within itself.
You will also find the Cranborne Manor Garden Centre which is open every day and specializes in clematis, old fashioned roses and many of the outstanding plants that make for a typical English Country garden. When visiting the garden centre its well worth visiting ‘The Old Potting Shed’ Tearoom which serves specialty meats produced from livestock reared on the Estate and delicious home-made food, including the delicious scones with cream and jam. The Tearooms are open everyday.
Within the gardens you can expect to find many different types of plants and flowers, along with fruits, vegetables and herbs being grown which serve the Garden Centre, the Manor and the Tearoom.
If you want to make a full day of your visit to the Manor then you can take one of the many Estate Walks and enjoy a refreshing walk into the peaceful countryside. You can obtain a guide to download here.
