The formal gardens to the North of the River Cray will be temporary closed from Thursday 14th January 2021. The formal lawns at Hall Place have recently experienced an increase in visitor numbers. This, along with the recent wet weather, has caused substantial damage to the ground and a health and safety risk to our visitors. We will re-open the formal gardens at the earliest opportunity
Access to the south parkland will be made available via the main stone gate. Please follow signs on site which allow for a circular path to ensure maximum social distancing on the route to and from the parkland via the Weir bridge. The gardens will close at 4pm
