Venue Name:
Hole Park

Address:
Rolvenden, Cranbrook, Kent, TN17 4JA

Direction:
Hole Park is situated between the Kent villages of Benenden and Rolvenden in a superbly beautiful area of the High Weald.

On a larger scale Hole Park sits neatly in the centre of a group of larger towns; Maidstone, Ashford, Hastings and Royal Tunbridge Wells.

It is easily accessible from Dover or the Channel Tunnel (about 45 mins) and from the M25, M26 or M20 (about 30 mins).

One of Kent’s finest gardens, Hole Park in Rolvenden, has a well deserved reputation for fantastic spring colour and the most amazing display of bluebells and tulips can be seen throughout the gardens and woodlands.

Taking a walk through the bluebells is a very special experience that brings people back year after year to see the never ending haze of blue and smell the wonderful fragrance that fills the air. A new circular walk with all weather paths makes access to the bluebell spectacular even easier for all visitors.

Every year head gardener Quentin Stark adds something new to the established gardens to delight visitors. This year is no exception and Quentin has replanted the sundial garden with over 6000 tulip bulbs to provide a burst of colour in April and May. The varieties planted include the salmon-pink 'Fantasy' which has green stripes on its petals, the apricot coloured 'Beauty Queen' and the pale pink 'Candy Club' which has up to six cup-shaped flowers per stem. This will be followed by varieties of peony and well loved old fashioned and English roses including Rosa mundi which has pretty stripy pink, purplish flowers and Gertrude Jekyll with its double, deep pink flowers. A new lime green border has also been planted in the millennium garden. A new ha-ha wall has also been built giving uninterrupted views from the front of the house over parkland to Rolvenden’s windmill.

The Beech hedge along the Camellia walk has been newly underplant
