The Victorian Pulhamite rockwork garden at Orchardleigh Estate is a unique feature, constructed from artificial stone by the renowned James Pulham and Son. This historical garden, nestled within the estate, offers guests a tranquil space to sit and reflect, surrounded by the artful craftsmanship of the Pulhamite stonework.

In addition to being a serene spot for quiet contemplation, the garden is also the setting for our special meditation evenings, where guests can connect with the deep history and peaceful ambiance of the estate. The Pulhamite rockwork is a testament to the Victorian era's fascination with naturalistic landscaping, blending seamlessly with Orchardleigh's lush surroundings.

This garden is part of the rich history of Orchardleigh Estate, which also includes the Orchardleigh Stones—a mysterious and ancient megalithic site located on the grounds. The Orchardleigh Stones, referenced in historical records and local folklore, add an element of ancient mystery to the estate. Guests who visit the garden and explore the estate can experience a sense of timelessness, where Victorian ingenuity and ancient heritage coexist, offering a unique retreat experience.
