The Holker Estate is the much loved home of the Cavendish family; each generation leaving its impressions, either by planning and altering the landscape or by changing the house by adding, re-facing, embellishing or even rebuilding (after a fire in 1871).
The 23 acres of immaculately kept gardens have evolved over hundreds of years, each owner adding new features and planting to create a garden rich in heritage, character and beauty yet always evolving.
