Discover the whimsical world of Levens Hall and Gardens, a Cumbrian gem easily explored without a car
Nestled on the fringes of the spectacular Lake District, the charming village of Levens beckons with its unique blend of history and horticulture. At its heart lies Levens Hall and Gardens, home to the world’s oldest topiary gardens. Wander through these surreal, sculpted masterpieces of ancient box and yew, then step inside the imposing Elizabethan house to uncover centuries of stories. Afterwards, enjoy a stroll in the peaceful deer park, often accessible right from the estate. Getting here is part of the adventure; take a scenic bus journey from nearby Kendal, itself well-connected by train to Oxenholme. Exploring Levens on foot allows you to truly immerse yourself in this tranquil Cumbrian treasure.
