Tags: Walled GardenActon Court is a C16 century walled garden with forecourts to south and east of the house on medieval site with fish ponds; England’s earliest garden sundial, 1520, probably by Nicholas Kratzer, the King’s horologer. The garden and grounds are included in the Scheduled Monument status. From the early 21st century, an organic kitchen garden has been created with vegetables, culinary and medicinal herbs, as well as a natural wildflower meadow and orchard. The remaining 12 acres of grounds are meadow and grassland, featuring native species of grasses and plants. Acton Court is an organic site and Soil Association Certified. Occasionally, fresh produce is available to visitors.
