✨ ABOUT THIS WALK
This enchanting guided walk in Ampthill weaves together natural history, folklore and mythology, revealing the hidden stories rooted in the wildflowers beneath your feet.

As you wander through hedgerows, meadows and woodland edges, you’ll discover the wildflowers that have shaped centuries of belief and practice. Learn how familiar blooms were once linked to healing, protection, divination and ritual, and uncover their place in witchcraft, mythology and rural folklore.

✨️ Flowers said to ward off evil
✨️ Plants connected with love spells and seasonal rites
✨️ Wild blooms tied to fairies, offerings and old countryside traditions

Grounded in landscape and storytelling, this gentle and immersive experience offers a fascinating glimpse into how people once understood the natural world - and how those echoes still remain today. No prior knowledge is needed, just curiosity and a willingness to see the countryside through an enchanted lens.

🌹 WHAT TO EXPECT
Entrance includes a fascinating tour of the walled garden and visitors are encouraged to break their visit with a picnic or a visit to the Woodyard Café. The garden is best enjoyed at a snail’s pace, entrance is for all day! Notice boards and displays are updated throughout the season allowing fascinating insight into the garden’s rich history.

♿️ ACCESSIBILITY
Every effort has been made to make the garden accessible to as many visitors as possible. With that in mind we have recently finished resurfacing the area around the sundial making it far easier for wheeled access. However, due to the age and rich history of the garden there are some areas that are not accessible by wheelchair. Please inform members of the Walled Garden Project at the entrance and every effort will be made to provide an alternative route, provide commentary on the area, or help with pushing if there are volunteers available. Disabled toilets are available within the conservatory.

🐶 DOGS
Dogs on leads with well-behaved owners are most welcome at the Walled Garden.

🅿️ PARKING
Parking is in an immediately adjacent car park with clearing marked disabled parking bays. Pre-booking is not required. Please note the Walled Garden is not at the hotel entrance.
