The Sealy family have lived at Timber Hill since 1951. The land has changed in this time beyond recognition from a simple small holding to a park with beautiful mature gardens. This has been the result of the huge interest and enthusiasm of the current occupants as well as a longstanding, committed and knowledgeable gardener. Many years were spent clearing enormous brambles and fallen trees. Vast areas of Rh Ponticum were chopped down but enough was left to create shelter-belts for younger shrubs and bulbs. Some 220 camellias have been planted and a few dozen rhododendrons besides, as well as thousands of bulbs. In April, tulips emerge in borders and pots, along with the wild cherry trees with their showers of white blossom. In recent years many new specimens have been planted to replace those damaged by storms or lost by old age. We begin with a sandwich lunch before our visit to Timber Hill included in the price.
